ROCHESTER — Changes to Spaulding High School's traditional graduation ceremony sparked frustration among seniors this week, with some singling out a group of transgendered students as the cause.

[...]

Seniors were upset about the change in tradition, but Baita and other students who approached Foster's said they were concerned three transgendered students were the target of blame for the change.

According to Baita and the other seniors, three transgendered students had asked the administration to wear red instead of white for graduation before the decision to change to all red was made.

Obviously there are a lot of students there who are not smart enough to graduate yet.  I say keep 'em another year.
