Howard University cancels graduation mid-ceremony after furious family members pound on doors, smash window
2024-05-12
[NY Post] HBCU Pride. "What do you mean 'at capacity'? We family!"
A graduation ceremony for nursing students at Howard University ended abruptly and in chaos after angry family members chanted "Let us in!" and pounded on the doors and smashed a window after being locked out when the auditorium hit capacity.

Loved ones of students in the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences packed into the Cramton Auditorium in Washington, DC, on Thursday, but not all relatives made it inside the building before the ceremony was abruptly canceled during the keynote address.

Chaotic video footage shows dozens of people standing outside the auditorium chanting "Let us in! Let us in!" as the ceremony began. Pictures showed a glass door had been shattered during the commotion as people banged on the doors and tried to push past security to go inside.

"While they were doing the keynote speaker, there was, like, loud banging, even before that, for like 10 minutes straight," graduate Bria Flowers told NBC Washington. "Just like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."

School officials told students and their families mid-ceremony that the fire department had come to shut things down.

"Because of the size of the room and because our relatives sometimes do not know how to act, the fire department is now here to shut us down," Dr. Gina S. Brown, dean of the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, said to a roaring response of boos.

#5  My kids high school solved the problem in the 1990s - or earlier: Eight tickets per graduate. No exceptions.

#3  When you reward bad behavior, which the Left has been doing for years, you get more of it.

Originally this was aimed at conservatives and Republicans, but the Thug-American population figured out that they could use it against anyone.

The monster, once released, is almost impossible to rein in .

#2  Once you teach people that rioting gets them what they want, they are going to riot to get what they want.

To be fair, the excluded loved ones were victims of racist occupancy limits. How can occupancy limits be racist, you ask? We have settled case law that any process or procedure that produces disparate racial outcomes is racism, even if the process or procure itself is racially neutral. In this case, the excluded persons were all of the black persuasion. Hence, the occupancy limits were racist. QED, bitches!

And here we've been blaming the educational system for the students, enraged monkey, behavior.
