I just happened to see the last post, Drolefille.
Thanks for the update even though it took me a long time to see it. I'm not surprised. That's the way it usually goes.
I'll be honest though; it would have been the way I'd expect it to go even if they had just removed the guest from the event.
It seems like no matter what schools try to do, someone tries to fight the policy and the district has to decide if it's worthwhile to go to court.
In this case, even favoring the policy like I do, I suspect it would have been expensive for the district to defend the suit even if they won it. And I suspect that when it came right down to it, they were afraid of it looking like racial discrimination and that it was going to come down to people having just turned in names, rather than any objective recording like video or something.
I wonder if the district will try to do anything next year. I bet not. So while it maybe a win for kids not being held responsible for guests' behavior, it's probably a loss for decorum at their graduations.
