Seven people arrested for cheering at graduation

We believe this is a case of Political Correctness
Parents Relatives and Friends that clapped,
cheered called out their son’s and daughters names as they were called and
received their diploma’s are arrested for disorderly
conduct. A charge that was once leveled on drunkenness, or
teens and young adults for fighting. How can a High School legislate?
How can police enforce such legislation?
How is this political correctness? Not all students receive cheers
so therefore it is deemed unfair then that any students receive cheers.
