The Kiss of No Return

My sister sent me this story about Bonny Eagle High School that was on the Yahoo.com homepage today.
On Friday night, when the senior class was waiting to graduate, excitement began to grow. Students bounced a large inflatable rubber duck. The noise level rose. And then came "the kiss." When called, one student walked on stage to receive his diploma and blew a kiss to his family. The school administrator, clearly not the sentimental sort, sent the student back to his seat ... sans diploma.
Seriously? That's a little harsh if you ask me. God forbid a son blow a kiss into the crowd. Had he dropped his pants and mooned everyone I can understand the harsh repercussions. But to deny someone a diploma because of a kiss? Embarrassing for both parties!
