Pushback: Michelle Obama unwanted at HS graduation

From the UKDailyMailOnline:

High school senior forms petition with over ONE THOUSAND signatures against Michele Obama speaking at their high school graduation ‘because it would overshadow the students’ big day’

  • Taylor Gifford, 18, started an online petition on Thursday with over 1,200 signatures asking that Michelle Obama not speak at Topeka High School graduation
  • Obama’s speech is tied to the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education outlawing segregation in schools
  • Some students feel that the speech would overshadow student accomplishments and others feel limited seating will be a problem

If expanding the guest list to include Michelle Obama at graduation for high school students in the Kansas capital city means fewer seats for friends and family, some students and their parents would prefer the first lady not attend.

A furor over what the Topeka school district considers an honor has erupted after plans were announced for Obama to address a combined graduation ceremony for five area high schools next month an 8,000-seat arena. For some, it was the prospect of a tight limit on the number of seats allotted to each graduate.

As with most politicians at public events, they will find a way to make every speech about them or their craven agendas and about no one else.

Let the kids have their day, Mrs Obama, and go the hell away.  Your intrusion is naked, unwanted, presumptive and self-serving.

It’s not all about you.

  1. Rumbles against the Obamas are popping up all over the place.

    In other words, WE THE PEOPLE are catching on what the Obama regime is all about. THEMSELVES! And the Leftist agenda, of course.

    Pity that there weren’t more such rumbles before the 2012 General Election.

  2. wow, I haven’t been to your blog in years. Glad to see you’re still writing. Hope you are well.

  3. But here was the reality:

    A graduation that would normally have taken 2 hours now took 8 hours. Security considerations and security areas and 4 high schools into one. And a limit of tickets for occupied seats. Can you think of no OTHER abrogation, please?

  4. This is about the kids and families joining in on their celebration, why does that vile woman have to be there to disrupt and ruin their day? She needs to stay home.

    If she shows up, many family members and friends will be forced to stay home to accommodate her and all the entourage that will be coming along with her.

    Let the kids enjoy their day! They worked for it, let them have it! Ughhh…
