Yeah. Hopefully, OP will keep us up-to-date with this. If not, I'll give it a go. I'd like to see how this turns out.

Can't make any promises, please make updates as you learn of them, thanks.

Sure thing. I'll track the article.

When I was in high school, they tried to withhold the diploma of our "valedictorian" (we didn't actually call it that, since it was a private prep school) for printing a controversial article in the school paper. All hell broke loose, many parents threatened to withhold tuition payments, and they eventually backed down... she went on to attend Harvard, and IIRC is now a doctor.

Stupid prank, but worth destroying his future over it? I don't think so.

Yeah, it's idiotic. They don't like it, and they think it's wrong to go against the great, royal school system. Somebody needs to evaluate how schools are run, nationally. Administrators are getting ridiculous, and backwoods, morally.

Please. He did not destroy his future. He will get the diploma eventually, probably by the end of the summer.

The sad part is that the kid did it to get publicity for his uncle who is being screwed by the VA, but nobody on this forum seems to know that!

Don't expect any sympathy for another governmental agency.

I think he was trying to generate action, not sympathy.

I agree simply because if he gets by with it MANY more will follow disrupting the proceedings. He did not go far enough for criminal charges which would have been my first choice.
