May 29, 2009 Atlanta, GA Last evening during the graduation ceremony of Maynard Jackson class of 2009, several family members of graduating seniors were ejected from the civic center for clapping and cheering their loved ones by officers of the Atlanta Police Department. Family members were told at the beginning of the ceremony not to clap until the entire graduating class names had been called. However, family members excited that their loved ones were graduating and overcome with emotion, chose to civilly disobey by clapping and self-removing themselves in some cases. In other cases, officers personally escorted them out of the event. One father expressed outrage by saying its a sad day when you come to a graduation that is filled with police and are asked to leave your own daughters graduation because you display excitement about moment. Police officers had no comment.
