"The school’s alma mater was sung as part of the events. Its mascot, a non-binary shark who uses plural pronouns, was also on hand to wave to the crowds."

(GRA:Now they claim in college that sharks have no male or female features?Or is it just the humans,PRETENDING to be sharks,lol.It's an intentionally stupid question I ask,btw,rhetorical,if you will.)

Cal State Long Beach in May also hosted nearly a dozen “Cultural Graduation Ceremonies” focused on “American Indian, Black/Pan-African, Cambodian, Chicano/Latino, Lavender, Pacific Islander, Pilipino, Undocumented, Vietnamese and International Students,” its website states.

Jim Milbury, a spokesperson for CSULB, told The College Fix in an email Wednesday that “commencement planners have not received concerns about the anthem not being played at our ceremonies.”

Milbury added that “as we plan for 2024, we will have internal discussions about whether this component is an appropriate addition.”

The public university’s decision to not perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” stands in contrast to other large California institutions, such as the University of Southern California and UC Berkeley, both of which included the song this year.

GRA:One commie school starts it,the rest will follow--guaranteed.The administrators deciding this, need to be cancelled by someone who is still an American at that school.
