Unbelievable High School decision over commencement ceremony

I am LIVID over this. A high school is refusing to give 5 students their diplomas because their families CHEERED FOR THEM at their Commencement ceremony!!!!!! WTF!!! This is so ridiculous! If you think this is as stupid as me, please email their principal and tell him what an idiot he is. Here's his email address: tchiles@galesburg205.org

Here's what I said to him:

"This is outrageous. You cannot deny diplomas from students over something this trivial. In addition, YOU CANNOT expect them to do community service when it was their families who did the dirty work to get them in trouble. This is unbelievable. If you want a quiet audience, you better televise your ceremony next year. Why don't you TURN UP THE VOLUME on the PA system?! OMG, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. You cannot ruin their high school experience doing something like this to them. This makes your school look incredibly bad. Your all over the news, I can't even believe that I'm seeing something like this. People died in their schools this year, and you care about something like this? Are you crazy? People like you shouldn't be administrators. All you do is make children's memories terrible for the rest of their lives.
Can you believe one of YOUR students said, ""You walk across the stage and then you can't get your diploma because of other people cheering for you. It was devastating, actually."
UNBELIEVABLE! This will go down in history as the STUPIDEST decision EVER MADE by a high school. Give them their diplomas. If you have any ounce of compassion in your body you will give them their diplomas that they rightfully earned through hard work and academia, NOT A GRADUATION CEREMONY!!!"
