For the first time I ever remember, students are limited in the number of people who can attend their high school graduation.

A couple of prefaces: 1) I was going to do a multi-part well-researched bit with links and quotes, and then I decided not to bother. What’s written here can be easily discovered as truth, I’m just too lazy to document it right now. After all, I don’t really blog anymore. 2) With only one or [...]
