Graduation is designed to honor the students of a community who have worked hard enough to achieve a diploma. It’s a ceremony that comes with public pride, as family, friends and sometimes total strangers celebrate together a class’s success.

Some students and parents upset with that decision have asked the board to reconsider, which it said it will do on May 13. In our opinion, the answer should be easy: Yes, allow the song.Get the Story:
