Emily Sturge: Graduation Ceremonies Are Meant To Bring Students Together, Not Segregate Them
Campus Reform Reporter Emily Sturge joins Fox Across Ameria With guest host Jason Chaffetz to shed light on how certain universities throughout the U.S. have decided to hold segregated graduation ceremonies for students.
'So we've reported at UC Davis and also at Franklin and Marshall College, they're holding separate graduation ceremonies to honor Black students. We've also seen, even in my home state of Florida, graduation ceremonies at some of our major universities for LGBTQ students. The bottom line here is graduation is supposed to be a ceremony that brings everybody together to celebrate accomplishments of hard work, four years of success. And instead the education system is turning these ceremonies that are supposed to be about merit and they're making it about skin color. This is not what our ceremonies are supposed to be able. And I was lucky enough to walk in my own graduation ceremony with all of my peers. It wasn't divided based on skin color. So I feel for those students who are put in this situation, who are divided by skin color, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or even in these illegal immigration ceremonies, students are even divided whether they're a law-abiding citizen or here breaking the law. It's very sad to see.'

Why Trump's Deployment Of Military in California Is So Controversial
President Donald Trump ordered the California National Guard on June 7 to dispatch at least 2,000 soldiers to the Los Angeles area as thousands of people demonstrating against immigration raids clashed with security forces. After vandalism and violence broke out, the Pentagon escalated the federal response by also mobilizing 700 active-duty Marines. The president said on his Truth Social platform that federal agencies were to take 'all such action necessary' to stop what he called 'migrant riots.' The rare move by a president to mobilize military forces to quell domestic unrest was quickly condemned as unnecessary and counterproductive by local authorities, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
