I think the recruiters who were responsible for their enlistment should send each of them the appropriate uniform so they can wear it at the ceremony.

Not sure it has anything to do with political correctness and it's in no way anti-service or anti-military.

Students that have achieved academic honors are given sashes or other items to bear during the formal ceremony to recognize their past efforts. Seems like it's a pretty common practice.

this is just another story promoting a false narrative the right loves to present as the left some how hating America .. I saw it at my sons high school graduation 5 years ago . it became fashionable after 9\11 as a recruitment tool .. no such thing was around when I enlisted in the Marines . I have no issues if its allowed or not allowed its just another persons choice or a schools policy ... people join for more reasons than love for their county ... and if you buy into the narrative That I or many others were in Iraq or Afghanistan to defend freedom ...your drinking the cool aid.. we are there to carry out US policy just like in Vietnam ..

Not sure what part of that is so hard for you to understand.
