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.'
