It is one thing to question authority and to understand that there is no one person (teacher, coach, president, parent) who is infallible - and it is another to be insulting on a public stage.
I agree with dude that adults can be childish, and it is sad when they use a child as a pawn.
If my child were in this ceremony, I know that I would not appreciate a family using the graduation celebration of my child to express their personal issues like this. Just as I would be very angry if my high school or college graduation ceremonies were marred by people who use it as a platform for whatever ax they want to grind, instead of celebrating *everyone's* accomplishments that is being marked by the ceremony.
but... it should not be used to impact the child's education. He learns nothing from this, and it only shows excessive abuse of power by the school district.
