One of my all time favorite movies.

A high school in Los Angeles County is prohibiting unvaccinated students from participating in their graduation ceremony. After prohibiting unvaccinated seniors from attending prom and senior awards night, Granada Hills Charter High School is banning unvaccinated students from its graduation ceremony on June 2.
Instead of attending the ceremony, Granada Hills Charter High School offers remote participation to 70 unvaccinated seniors by having their names called while their other classmates walk the stage.
One Granada Hills senior, Andrew Luna, said the situation is “heartbreaking” and added he felt “abandoned” by the school he “worked so hard for.”
After the school did remote learning throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Granada Hills High announced that only vaccinated students may return to campus for the current spring semester.
The unvaccinated students were enrolled in the school’s online independent study program, preventing them from being engaged in extracurricular activities on campus. “Besides that, it was just the events on school campus, relationships with friends and just a lot I had to give up, essentially,” said one really pissed-off student graduate.

... "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a song by English pop rock band
Tears for Fears. It was written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley, and Chris Hughes and produced by Hughes. The song was first released on March 18, 1985 (37 years ago - jeez) as the third single from the band's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a new wave and synth-pop song with lyrics that detail the desire humans have for control and power and center on themes of corruption. Still one of my favorite songs from a very weird and diverse decade of music, to be sure.
Believe it or not, the band is still together, and they're touring this summer.
They've aged a bit, but still pretty damn tight. Take a look:
