GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) -- Caisha Gayles graduated with honors last month, but she is still waiting for her diploma. The reason: the whoops of joy from the audience as she crossed the stage. Gayles was one of five students denied diplomas from the lone public high school in Galesburg after enthusiastic friends or family members cheered for them during commencement. About a month before the May 27 ceremony, Galesburg High students and their parents had to sign a contract promising to act in dignified way. Violators were warned they could be denied their diplomas and barred from the after-graduation party. Many schools across the country ask spectators to hold applause and cheers until the end of graduation. But few of them enforce the policy with what some in Galesburg say are strong-arm tactics. "It was like one of the worst days of my life," said Gayles, who had a 3.4 grade-point average and officially graduated, but does not have the keepsake diploma to hang on her wall. "You walk across the stage and then you can't get your diploma because of other people cheering for you. It was devastating, actually." School officials in Galesburg, a working-class town of 34,000 that is still reeling from the 2004 shutdown of a 1,600-employee refrigerator factory, said the get-tough policy followed a 2005 commencement where hoots, hollers and even air horns drowned out much of the ceremony and nearly touched off fights in the audience when the unruly were asked to quiet down. "Lots of parents complained that they could not hear their own child's name called," said Joel Estes, Galesburg's assistant superintendent. "And I think that led us to saying we have to do something about this to restore some dignity and honor to the ceremony so that everyone can appreciate it and enjoy it." In Indianapolis, public school officials this year started kicking out parents and relatives who cheer. At one school, the superintendent interrupted last month's graduation to order police to remove a woman from the gymnasium. "It's an important, solemn occasion. There's plenty of time for celebration before and after," said Clarke Campbell, president of the Indianapolis school board. In Galesburg, the issue has taken on added controversy with accusations that the students were targeted because of their race: four are black and one is Hispanic. Parents say cheers also erupted for white students, and none of them was denied a diploma. Principal Tom Chiles said administrators who monitored the more than 2,000-seat auditorium reported only disruptions they considered "significant," and all turned in the same five names. "Race had absolutely nothing to do with it whatsoever," Chiles said. "It is the amount of disruption at the time of the incident." School officials said they will hear students and parents out if they appeal. Meanwhile, the school said the five students can still get their diplomas by completing eight hours of public service work, answering phones, sorting books or doing other chores for the district, situated about 150 miles southwest of Chicago. Gayles' mother said she plans to fight the school board - in court if necessary - to get her daughter's diploma. The noise "was like three seconds. It was like, `Yay,' and that was it," Carolyn Gayles said. American Civil Liberties Union spokesman Edward Yohnka said Galesburg's policy raises no red flags as long as it is enforced equitably. "It's probably well within the school's ability to control the decorum at an event like this," he said. Another student who was denied her diploma, Nadia Trent, said she will probably let the school keep it if her appeals fail. "It's not fair. Somebody could not like me and just decide to yell to get me in trouble. I can't control everyone, just the ones I gave tickets to," Trent said. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/G/GRADUATION_DECORUM?SITE=NCJAC&SECTION=HOM E&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT | ||

I wouldn't do a damn bit of public service. Just as along as they sent my transcript I wouldn't even want their funky diploma on my wall. Like Galesburg High is a big deal. Just skip the damn ceremony and have them mail you your diploma. What bullshit. When I graduated Negroes did the boogaloo across the stage, got happy and shouted, people danced in the aisles-- I guess to white folks it ain't no big thang. Let's all send insulting messages to Galesburg or post insulting messages on their website! | ||

If the parents/guests signed a contract to STFU then that's what they should have done. Three seconds of "YAY" ain't STFU. So the students who invited the bad parents and bad friends who did not STFU should just go and do the community service. And Chris. This is for you. STFU!!! | ||

Like George Bush, your fellow Texan said about the Constitution a contract ain't nothing but a piece of paper, and between whites and non whites it ain't valid noway. I'd like to do YOUR community service! | ||
| Mzuri "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Mzuri Post Number: 4854 Registered: 01-2006 Rating: N/A |
I have no community service other than to keep you straight and advise you of the difference between right and wrong. Thank you for your kind attention and have a nice day  | ||

I'm with you, Chris...there's no way in HELL I'd work for some muthafuckas for free...because my COUSIN got loud. Shyt...tell the COUSIN to do the community service. And when did it become OK for someone to be forced to sign a paper that makes them liable for the actions of someone else? And a MINOR at that? What bullshyt. So, if my son is 16, 17 and signs a paper that his grown father won't do something...and daddy does it anyway, the court is going to hold the SON responsible? FUK THAT. And FUK the lawyers who drew up that paper and any court that upholds it. Just want some free negro labor, is why they did this. Knew good and damn well these KIDS couldn't tell their PARENT, GRANDPARENTS, to shut up if the ADULTS didn't want to shut up...so now the town gets free labor for the summer. I hope they take this shyt to court. PLEASE keep us posted on this. Who lives somewhat close to this town? | ||

LiLi - I'm gonna tell you this one time and one time only. DO NOT GO ACTING A GOT DAMN FOOL AT YOUR GRAND-DAUGHTER'S GRADUATION. STFU!!! And Renata - In real life, you know, in the real world where the rest of us live - you ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF OTHERS. Just like you can't have people coming to your JOB acting a fool, that's just how you can't have people out in the audience jumping up and down and acting like a barrel of got damn monkeys when the school district told them in ADVANCE TO SHUT THE FUKC UP. Bunch of clownie ass negroes. Gonna fukc up your own people's future because you can't keep your mouth shut and sit the fukc down. That's why we can't get ahead now. | ||
| Renata AALBC .com Platinum Poster Username: Renata Post Number: 2247 Registered: 08-2005 Rating: |
Bytch, please.....tell me of ANY white person who was forced to do FREE WORK (community service) for something someone else did....MUCH LESS something that isn't a crime.....and even much less A MINOR. That's ALL KINDS OF FUCKED UP. I wouldn't want any paper with their name on it, either. We can't get ahead because white people tell us when to shut up, tell us they're going to MAKE us do free work if we don't MAKE all the other ADULT negroes shut up, and try to rationalize how we deserved it because we didn't tell our family to shut up like the white man told us to. FUK THAT. White man: Tell them niggas to shut up. Black man: OK, massa, and if they don't, I'm your slave for the rest of the summer. FUK THAT. | ||

Or maybe they should be commended for showing these kids what it's like to have a "HEAD NIGGA IN CHARGE" complex? | ||

I would do some "community service" alright. Show up and piss in a bucket and go home. There's some service for their mutherfucking community. | ||

Why does your scatterbrained ass always have to make three posts when everything you wrote could have been combined into a single reply. Lookie here dimwit, the community service as a punishment was probably part of the contract that the people signed. But just like a bunch of NEGROES, they didn't HONOR the contract and now don't want to suffer the consequences. First the parents go to the formal function and act like morons, messing up the chances for their children (and the other families in attendance) to have a dignified graduation as well as them not getting their certificates, and now they are telling their children that they don't need their diplomas. Yup, they are setting a real good example for the next generation of Black people, just like the backwards ass backwater fucked up NEGROES that they are. Just like you. DUMB ASS | ||
| Renata AALBC .com Platinum Poster Username: Renata Post Number: 2251 Registered: 08-2005 Rating: |
I don't give a flying fuk. None of these CHILDREN should have to pay for a "crime" for or DEMAND their elders act right for any body. If Granny wants to act a fool, let Granny do the community service. And, in the WHITE community, community service is for CRIMINALS. There's no way in hell I'd be punished the same as a CRIMINAL for something someone else did, and something that isn't even a crime. I'll be happy when some white man tells somebody to demand your ass to shut the fuk up. I will happily oblige. You ARE too dumb to live. Bytch. They're giving these kids the same punishment they give criminals for something THEY DIDN'T DO, for something that ISN'T A CRIME. You've got to be some serious kind of twisted psycho bytch to think people are going to sit still and take it up the ass like that. What those people should have done was say "we're adults and yelling isn't a crime. We'll scream all the fuk we want to." Not everyone likes it up the ass, slut. | ||

LOL.....What court are you sending your kids to that accepts contracts from minors? I know you like it up the ass, but come on, don't make the KIDS do take it, too. I thought you were a little better than that. HO BAG | ||
| Renata AALBC .com Platinum Poster Username: Renata Post Number: 2257 Registered: 08-2005 Rating: |
Just let me be frank, Mzuri. Not everyone likes it up the ass. Consider it your specialty. You can even charge extra. ROFLMAO | ||
| Renata AALBC .com Platinum Poster Username: Renata Post Number: 2258 Registered: 08-2005 Rating: N/A |
Hmmmm...black people, see why we're behind? We have: 1. Contracts accepted from OUR minors, no one else's. 2. For the behavior of others. 3. For acts that aren't criminal. 4. Where they accept criminal punishment. 5. And we have to wonder if it's OK. If you guys will take this shyt....ain't no help for yall. | ||
| Mzuri "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Mzuri Post Number: 4868 Registered: 01-2006 Rating: N/A |
The parents signed the contracts dingaling. Did you even read the article? Probably not. Never mind. Pop Tart. | ||
| Renata AALBC .com Platinum Poster Username: Renata Post Number: 2259 Registered: 08-2005 Rating: |
Then let the parents do the time....bytch. I wish y I'm getting sick of people making excuses to criminalize black kids and try to get them used to being treated like criminals, bytch. I really get bored having to remind you that you're a bytch. Meet some people and have someone different call you a bytch sometimes. Get some variety in your life. | ||

You're not nearly as tired as I am of a total loser like you, who can't even control her own misbehaved runts, commenting on how other people should handle their business. Listen dimwit, I realize that this is probably beyond your level of comprehension, but all of the things that the school district is enforcing was in the CONTRACT that the PARENTS signed. PARENTS who have JURISDICTION over their children. But like the typical whiney drivelling NEGRO that you are, you are attempting to play the RACE CARD. Whining about how life is sooooo unfair because the NEGROES are unable sit down and be quiet. They just have to get up and dance and shout because it's in their makeup. And I know that your classless clueless no talent clusterfukced ass doesn't know how to behave at a formal ceremony, but when your monkey ass offspring finally completes his course of education, just take some valium or something and do your best. Thank you. | ||

Mzuri, take your crusty ass somewhere, fucking wino. All you do is start shit even when you dont know what the hell youre talking about. As if you know how it must feel to be denied what took four years to accomplish. This is high school, not 12 steps, and you never graduated, that's why you don't give a fuk. | ||
| Mzuri "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Mzuri Post Number: 4872 Registered: 01-2006 Rating: N/A |
WTF are you addressing me, La Tonya wench? Was I talking to you? I think not. Last time I checked, it normally takes twelve years to graduate from high school. But that's probably too complex for you to grasp, huh. Pay attention crackwhore, from now on - don't speak to me unless your ass is spoken to. Be seen and not heard. You fukcing nag. | ||
| Renata AALBC .com Platinum Poster Username: Renata Post Number: 2260 Registered: 08-2005 Rating: N/A |
You don't know how my child behaves in public, bytch. He's well behaved in public, interestingly. You're such a jealous witch it doesn't even surprise me that you believe these children should be given criminal punishment for shyt that isn't even a crime. Their fault for finishing school. And again, tell me any court that allows criminal punishments be given to minors for things that aren't crimes, for things they haven't done. You're just pissy that you didn't think about making your own kids pay for shyt YOU did and that they had no control over. | ||

HIGH SCHOOL is 4 years. The entire educational 'career' is 12 years. One needn't even go to public elementary or junior high to get a degree, if they're homeschooled well. Which is why many children who were homeschooled tend to finish high school sooner. But HIGH school is only 4 years. You did go to school long enough to count, right? | ||
| Renata AALBC .com Platinum Poster Username: Renata Post Number: 2263 Registered: 08-2005 Rating: N/A |
BTW, (public school) children graduate from elementary school, too. That's 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade. Hmmm, see a pattern there? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That's six (6) years. One hand and one finger on the other hand. Repeat. | ||

Come on, you can do it. You've noticed I post more than once. Now, let's count the posts.... (I'm sorry to the rest of the posters here...I'm going to stop being mean...I'm just having fun now and not at all serious.) And correction: today's students finish elementary school in the 5th grade. That's 6, take away one... this isn't even fun anymore. | ||

Are you retarded? I'm commenting on the situation about the parents signing a contract and then disregarding what they agreed to. Is that how you conduct your business, promise to act accordingly (BY SIGNING A CONTRACT) and whoop and holler like a barrel of got damn monkeys during a solemn ceremony? Is that how you want your parents to conduct themselves? If so then you have way more serious problems than concerning yourself about whether or not Mzuri is a white supremicist. Now, back to what I was saying, it's dimwitted NEGROES like Misty that cause BLACK PEOPLE to STAY BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL. IN POVERTY and ON WELFARE. Now little monkeyfart beotch, what else do you have to say about it. | ||

Why doesn't it register with you, chrishayden, that neither Mzuri or I would have to use an alter ego to say what we have to say when we usually agree. Why go through all of the trouble doing double posts?? I guess you just can't believe that 2 different people would find you to be an insufferable asshole.

LimpDickChris and FlatAssTonya don't have shit else to harp on me about other than that I dropped out of school. I guess they can't grasp the concept of the G.E.D. Or that people can't go back and change things that happened in the past. Or that at this late stage people aren't concerned about my résumé. I haven't heard either one of them challenge my intelligence. Probably because they're both too stupid. |
