Alright, I am not defending the school, but I googled "high school graduation ceremony misconduct". I found literally thousands of sites where the student handbook has rules of graduation.
Some even had statements that required the student to sign the following:
"I understand that if I fail to meet the above requirements or violate any school regulations, such as a senior prank or any other suspendable offense, I may forfeit my right to participate in graduation. I further understand that in the event of any misconduct on my part, I may:
1. Not be allowed to be in the graduation line;
2. Be required to leave graduation and the area;
3. Have my diploma withheld;
4. Be required to meet with the Principal/designee on May 25th to discuss said incident."
Again, I am simply stating that the school board may have and probably did act within its authority.
