Columbine Graduation 1999

Hi everyone! I feel like I have not posted in ages. I was delving a little bit back into researching and for me I always wondered ,other than Brooks and Robyn, what other friends of Eric and Dylan were not allowed to walk that day? i always wondered if Zach was allowed? I don't remember if Nate was prohibited or if he didn't go because of being kicked out of his house and left town?

Then I read a small blurb that said graduates were not allowed to wear the blue and silver ribbons on their gowns that honored those who died on the 20th. I wonder why?

I have not previously heard anything about the graduates not being able to wear ribbons honoring those that lost their lives on the 20th. That's an odd choice on the school's part. I hope someone has some information on why those ribbons would have to be removed. Perhaps it had something to do with a dress code for the gowns? I can't really think of any other reason the school would make the students remove the ribbons.

I'd guess since it was so close to the attack and there were so many unknowns at that time, they were weary of a possible second attack and didn't want the ribbons making anybody targets

That's a very solid point.
