A high school graduation ceremony takes an unexpected turn when a student refuses to give a speech, leading to a mass cap-tossing event. The story also includes a dress code protest and an impromptu crowd invasion of a Batman movie set.
Fellow classmates, you didn't come here to hear me talk, so I won't. Happy graduation!' And he got off the stage. The principal, not a well liked woman, forced him back on to give the speech.'It's hot up here,' he said.'But what are they gonna do? You already got your diplomas. Go home.' 'YAAAY' said a few more people, and tossed their caps. Parents, confused and sweltering in the sun, started to get up. That was the tipping point, and suddenly EVERYONE tossed their caps.
Parents came down from the stands, grateful it ended, but our principal got on stage, and did that nervous aggressive laugh, 'OKAY. SIMMER DOWN NOW. WE STILL HAVE A WHILE TO GO AND SOME GUEST SPEAKERS... OKAY... IT'S NOT OVER... RETURN TO YOUR SEATS... OKAY I'M SER--', and someone cut off her mic. No one could stop us. Even the teachers who tried to corral us back failed because we outnumbered them 40 to 1. In high school, they passed a rule where you could no longer wear shorts to school. So, on the first day of school, we organized to have 150 plus students wear shorts, thinking they couldn’t send us all home, well, they did. My school has a really strict dress code and a uniform, but one day they went too far, they said WHITE SOCKS ONLY, we decided to get the two grades above us and below us to wear black socks that day, we had over 400 people wearing black socks for a week straight until the school decided to remove the rule. Living in Chicago, they blocked off a bridge for filming The Dark Knight Batman movie. A crowd started forming, mostly from people who need to cross the bridge. We are all on foot, going around is a big hassle, and city folks don't like when streets get blocked. Finally, some guy shouted, 'They can't stop us all!' and on cue, we all hopped the barriers and poured into the movie set. Christopher Nolan and all the security couldn't stop grumpy city pedestrians from going where they want
