Can Seniors Joining Service Wear Military Insignia To High School Graduation? School Officials Say No

A battle over whether students about to join the military can wear insignia on their gowns during graduation at a Connecticut high school next week is raging on social media, but school officials are holding firm.
Several students in Ledyard, Connecticut want to wear shoulder cords representing their branch of the service. According to some parents, the students got the cords from their military recruiters with the advice that they could wear them over their gowns during their graduation.
