Are graduation ceremonies changing?

By Fredrick Hofsaess, Decorah

I was honored to attend the Decorah High School graduation of my grandson this spring. I was very impressed that the various branches of the military were honored by musical presentations by the orchestra.
Having participated in over 40 graduation exercises I was surprised that there was no National Anthem, Invocation or Benediction as part of the program. The only U.S. flag was on the back wall of the gym.  
Is this the way Decorah High School has traditionally handled the graduation exercise or is this bowing to the progressive movement?
