A civilization begins to weaken when its leaders can follow instructions but cannot make decisions. A graduation ceremony should teach young people that achievement deserves dignity. Instead, Centennial High School gave them a lesson in institutional stupidity. Four years of work ended with students sitting soaked in the rain because someone treated a “Rain or Shine” policy like sacred law instead of using basic judgment. This is how societies lose their ability to think. Rules become excuses. Policies replace common sense. Adults hide behind procedure while children pay the price. The issue was never the rain but that no one in charge had the courage to say, “This is ridiculous. Move it inside. Delay it. Protect the students.”
