      The problem is tiny dick authoritarians with authority over tiny institutions who must nevertheless feel that they are in control of everything at all times.

      FWIW, I got banned from my graduation retroactively by giving the principal a frog instead of a handshake. He deserved it.

        Worst still, it’s petty dictators with no authority. The actual authorities gave permission, the butthurt low level authoritarians were the ones objecting, stealing her phone, holding her hostage, using intimidation tactics and harassing her. Like, forget whether this is or isn’t an ancestral tradition or whatever. You don’t detain a minor and prevent them from contacting their legal guardians in a disciplinary situation where absolutely no one is in danger. This is appalling for the entire institution and all their teachers.

          I’d put money on these dick-tators being on their HOA boards and spending their saturdays riding around with rulers making sure grass isnt so much as half a millimeter above “allowed” height.

        Wait, as in, banned after graduation occurred? If they were setting that standard, you should have upped your game to also get retroactively banned from you senior prom, homecoming, etc. You had 12 years of school events banked you could have drawn from for retroactive bans.

          I know, right? More the fool me for not trying harder.

          They tried to withhold my diploma in response but it turns out they did not actually have the legal authority to do so. That might be useful information if I ever intended to go through high school a second time… But, uh, I think I’d rather not.

            Wait, did you literally hand a frog to him, or is this some kind of slang I’m not familiar with?
