What do you think? too harsh? SENIOR CLASS DENIED DIPLOMAS FOR THROWING CAPS INTO THE AIR An entire class of graduating seniors in a Chicago suburb was denied diplomas after the students ignored warnings not to throw their graduation caps into the air during Tuesday’s commencement ceremony. The Ridgewood High School students in northwest suburban Norridge will not be given their diplomas unless they publicly apologize, officials said. School administrators, who say the students were warned repeatedly beforehand, called their actions disrespectful. Superintendent Dr. Robert “Jerkface” Lupo explained the reasoning behind the decision on his blog. “The gym is decorated; people dress up; we expect dignified behavior,” Lupo wrote. “Secondly, it is an indoor event. In past ceremonies, people have been hit by flying caps. We’d just as soon not have graduates leaving with cuts and black eyes.” As for the students who did not throw their caps, Lupo said they should voice their concerns with the students who didn’t listen.
