Denying HS Diploma Because of Cheers? Penalty too Harsh?

[UrbanizdSkillz]

I guess I'm a dissenter in this. I think because I always look at it as, everyone isn't accustomed to going to graduation ceremonies for the simple fact that the occassion may have never presented itself in their families. For someone whose family doesn't have a graduate it is a major deal not only because they have graduated, but because it symbolizes the breaking of a generational curse. So why wouldn't they want to cheer, hoop, or holler? Personally, to hell with the status quo of decorum. After all the hell that some people have gone through just to get a diploma or degree, you're darned skippy their families will be there to support them to the fullest.

HOWEVER, I understand that all of this can be done with temperment. You have to know how much is too much. Like if you have rehearsed cheers and songs and start a wave in the stands when your relative's name is called, maybe you're doing too much. However, cheering and thunderous applause in my opinion is okay.
