Students at a Topeka, Kansas, high school are furious over First Lady Michelle Obama upstaging seniors at their graduation ceremony.

The first lady decided to speak at the graduation to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This game-changing decision outlawed racial segregation in public schools.
