a full video of the graduation? I would like to know if any other families violated that edict, and if so, what consequences they faced. The small segment that's being aired was neither rude nor excessive; a name, a short sentence, nothing that would detract from the next graduate in line unless the administrators were so incredibly rude and disrespectful that they were rattling off names like they were auctioneers and the grads were marching across the stage like a trail of ants.
