A spitball during the valedictorian speech? It's not suggested by Mike, but Mike is the person the other kid is going to for the suggestion. I can't speak for Mike's school, but if someone spitballed the valedictorian during their speech at my kids' high school graduation, there would be hell to pay. That's your fellow student who busted their butt for 4 years to get where they are. Michael is the kid who never did his homework, so you have to wonder how in the world he ever managed to graduate. It does make sense he would have no respect for a kid who is effectively his exact opposite.

On the other hand, in 1994, Lynn is a few years away from her infamous 1999 Lunch with Jan Wong interview, where she talks about getting an honorary doctorate and the extreme disrespect she showed for that honor. I get the feeling Lynn does not think highly of graduation ceremonies or or very earnest valedictorian speeches.

She blew off the art school her parents busted their asses paying for because she was 'too smart' to bother learning things. She still believes that 'classroom politics' is why 'too good to be true' types is why other children who of course LIED about working harder than she cared to because it didn't make sense that people even could be interested in things that bored HER is why they got ahead and she got mean, bad and cruel lectures about how she wasn't the specialest little snowflake EVAH!!

Of course she's gonna want to heap abuse on the people who are mean to her by deliberately making her feel bad.

She was so critical of the Vancouver School of Art and their poor education it was amazing they brought her in for an honorary degree.

An undeserved honor, for sure. Where is the honorary degree from the art school I flunked out of?!?!? 😜

I can't tell for sure because it's being blocked by the podium but one of those words on the banner appears to be "faith". Is separation of church and state a rule in Canadian public schools?

My guess is that trying to take the stupid thing down would trigger Christmas and Easter churchgoers and members of the Church Of Jesus Christ, Asshole Jock....I mean the Promise Keepers.
