no, you're *not* technically done at graduation - you don't get your diploma until later. And that's exactly what they sai d- you would be expelled, and you would be refused your diploma. As well as being charged with disturbing the peace, if you didn't leave.

That >is< disturbing! Being forced to support politicians you don't want to support is one of the M.O.s of Communism. Oddly enough, right-wing extremists often accuse Democrats of being Communist...for no particular reason. Now, we have, on the other side of the table, someone who actually >is< doing something a Communist would do.

I think it's ridiculous that it happened- and i think this threat by high schools if you don't behave at graduation they won't give you your diploma is also ridiculous. Things like - if a girl wears white boots instead of white dress shoes, then you don't get your diploma. granted, that's not really infringing upon freedoms like this whole bush thing is - but i think it's all ridiculous. and something should be done.

Hey now...

Even us of the party have some tact.

I wouldn't call what the colleges are doing as fascism or communism but more of neo-repubilacnism. Not the party of Republicans, but the Unionist state of being of "pro-democracy".

I can't quite put my finger on weather or not George Bush Jr. is a mason or not... I couldn't figure out if Bill Clinton was a scientologist or not, but feelings aside it's not really true to democratic feelings but rather grand old republic feelings towards nationalism. But fasicsm it is not becuase it still supports democracy in a sick sad way. I'm not sure if that makes sense...

It's the difference between a dictator saying I still support democracy as apposed to a dictator that outright says "democracy sucks because the people that vote are idiots".

I'd put more faith into a dictator that upfront tells you that your rights are null and void than the one that gives the run around and still says you are free but that you are not.
