Tossing the caps in the air is a tradition as old as time. Maybe, yeah, safety is an issue, but it's the symbolism of it all that the wimps are missing.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-72455640304774646672014-07-13T08:57:41.730-04:002014-07-13T08:57:41.730-04:00Cheers for the kid!

He had every right to thank God and his Christian faith for helping him get to this point in his life. He was not proselytizing, he was being thankful. <br /><br />I'm also glad the administrators didn't pull his mike - something lefties typically do when someone talks about things they don't like. Other school administrators have all sorts of restrictions these days on grads - my niece's class wasn't even allowed to throw their caps into the air! Apparently they're afraid someone will get poked in the eye or something.<br /><br />For the record, Scientology IS a cult. I've spoken with "cult busters" who put Scientology up at the top with similar groups. magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-62747330631402485482014-07-12T06:58:28.622-04:002014-07-12T06:58:28.622-04:00Scientology is a cult, Sam.

It's California, after all, where a cult like Scientology thrives when it should've been expunged many moons ago.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-2905263928088508012014-07-11T22:55:17.523-04:002014-07-11T22:55:17.523-04:00Why bring up Scientology?

I personally am neither offended or frightened by invocations of the god of Abraham, but I can understand other people's sensitivity to any implied or inferred proselytizing.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.com
