@nypost: A University at Buffalo graduate and proud father defied school officials as he ran across the stage to receive his diploma with his young son in tow and police in pursuit, according to viral footage that has been viewed over 8 million times. 🎓
I need an explanation as to why they were chasing a man who is actively graduating holding his son in a little cap and gown

Jean Paul Al Arab, Lebanese, moved to US 3 yrs ago, speaks 3 languages, full time student, works overnight full time, full time dad to his seven month old son. Was initially told it would be okay to walk with his son then told it’s “against commencement policy “. He deserves and earned the right to walk with his son. 🔥

I'm confused. Did escape from prison to attend his graduation? Did he commit a crime before collecting his diploma?

Wait a minute…we can’t find six convicts in New Orleans, but we can run after a father carrying his son at a graduation ceremony. 🙄

Shame on the school! Another reason I'm glad I didn't show up for commencement.

He was SO proud of this and he walked that stage w his soon. Being a working parents and going to school is not for the weak! Ridiculous that he was kicked out afterwards too.

UB should be embarrassed - Delhi allowed a man to walk across the stage w his child. The child even sat w him through the ceremony- not one issue

Shame on UB…. I was just at the SUNY New Paltz graduation and they had a mother with her baby walk. Everyone clapped for her!

Chicken Chaser :
I understand that it's a private institution and if they tell him he can't receive his diploma while holding his son, that's fair I guess. But what would the cop even do if he catches the man ? Detain/arrest him for what ? What even would the charge be ? Even if it's trespassing, no one told him to leave yet and if they did, he'd get the opportunity to leave on his own first. I'm so tired of public servants (cops) trying to enforce feelings & policies instead of laws.
