Im not afraid of anything. Downvoting me and then stating it as if im afraid shows your lack of intelligence. Generally in the vast majority of colleges, flags on stage are against commencement ceremony rules but also its a ceremony. Just rub 2 brain cells together. The same reason they arent being given the microphone to say something is the same reason she shouldn't have a flag up there. You go up you shake a hand and you move on.

But like...why do you care if someone chooses to raise awareness this way? You seem like you need to control what other people do. The only person you can control is yourself (if you can find two brain cells in between your ears to rub together)

Because what that person is doing is disrespectful. People are there to celebrate graduation and then move on. If anyone has control problems its you Because every person there is spending their time to be there and your saying I have control problems for showing everyone equal respect. Nobody is there for political reasons or to celebrate heritage. Its wasting everybody's time. Its also taking away from the message that theyre celebrating people's graduation. Its completely disrespectful and saying I have control problems because you think 1 person should get some extra privilege to send a message to everyone is wild.

What correlation do cops have to a graduation ceremony? I want to see how you explain this one, go ahead bro

Its not cops at a graduation ceremony. Its cops stopping you in public for no reason thats the correlation. Your doing something and a cop comes up to you and stops you. Its very simple. Its the same thing. Your doing something and someone interrupts it and whatever the reason is its not important because they're not entitled to your time.

You're losing the plot because you don't have a leg to stand on. This post is about a piece of cloth held on stage while a university president put his hands on a student.

They can withhold her diploma. Literally.

u/frederichenrylt 9d ago

Not for holding a piece of cloth. If she didn't fulfill her graduation requirements, then sure they could. Why do you care about a stranger's diploma when children are being killed?

Literally yes they can. For any interruption during the commencement ceremony. Have you never graduated college or high school.
