Fair enough. I edited the intro to my response above. I see it like this:
My HOA has several rules I don't agree with and, in fact, believe are stupid. For example, we can only have Bermuda grass, can't have basket ball goals in the street and no street parking between 1-5am.
1. These rules were in place when I moved in and apply to everyone.
2. I don't just get to break them (with out consequence).
I'm working with the BOD to have the DCCRs changed.
The girl in the article challenged the rule, lost, but did it any way. I just don't see why that is being commended. In my experience if an institution makes an exception for one person, then it winds up being an exception to everything and chaos ensues. Typically, schools just want to keep graduations simple and uniform.
That's fair, I just do not care about whether or not that institution maintains decorum and I certainly don't see this as some sort of harbinger of chaos.
This is high school. And despite the claims here, there is a pretty long tradition of graduates altering their gowns.
