I don't think it was about backbone. I'm sure their lawyers told them there is no precedent for penalizing someone for the actions of others.

That elementary school business of "if one person talks, the whole class will be punished" doesn't fly in the real world (except, as I understand it, in the Army).

you're right, it doesn't ...

Howdy Nova.
Of course I know you are right, but I hold out hope that people can behave. Because if they do, this rule means nothing.
It's amazing how many baptisms, graduations, church services, confirmations,and meetings I have been to without incident.
I have a feeling our school district would not have backed down. they are known to be pigheaded lol.
I really am more disappointed that these 5 families just couldn't get their chit together for the sake of their grads.
and so it goes.

I completely agree with you re what the families should have done.

I think most families do what is acceptable at a large gathering.
Like I said, my momma taught me about manners the same week she potty trained me.
