High Schol Policy - Yeesh!
This seems pretty indefensible -- refusing a graduation walk over a bolo tie.
Those readers who know me understand (and those who only know me from here may be able to intuit) that I am no fan of the bolo tie. However, the school seems not to have exercised any definition of the code beyond "tie." They allowed bad ties. I understand the county-wide policy that "they [graduating seniors] are not to wear any kind of additional accents". A bolo tie would not, however, be additional.
Allowing a child to wear an orange tie with that godawful purple robe and mortarboard was considerably worse than allowing Mr. Benya to wear a bolo.
