Oh-oh. Somebody in administration is going to be at the blackboard a long time! I think writing "I will get the right U.S. state on our kids' diplomas" 500 times is fair.

Graduating from high school is a big, big deal! There had to have been a little bit of a damper on the students' enthusiasm in Kelso, Washington, last weekend, when they got their diplomas with the state seal of Oregon on the front covers!

But at least they got the high school name correct and the diplomas are valid. But...well, you know. It's the principle of the thing. Sure hope I used the right "principle" there.

The superintendent says it was an ordering error not discovered until the ceremony was underway. And new covers have been ordered. With the state seal of Washington, we assume.  DB
