Take 17-year-old Chelsey Ramer. Her private school, Escambia Academy, is holding the Alabama grad's diploma and transcripts until she pays a $1,000 fine—all because she hung a lone eagle feather alongside her cap’s tassel during her May 23 commencement ceremony.

This is a private school. Wonder where they get off fining a student?
At that age I would have spent double the equivalent on a law suit over the bull of holding the diploma and the temerity to even dare to think they had the right to fine me.
