Proud mom orders Summa Cum Laude cake online. Publix censors it: Summa
Laude.
Saturday was Jacob Koscinskis big day. His whole family, many from out of town, saw the Charleston, S.C., student graduate from his Christian-based home-school program with a 4.89 grade-point average and the coveted honor of summa cum laude.
His mother, Cara Koscinski organized a graduation party for her 18-year-old son. For the occasion, she ordered a cake online from her nearest grocery store, Publix, which lets customers build their own cakes complete with a customized inscription, which they enter into a message box marked cake message option.
Carefully, she typed in the words she wanted on the cake: Congrats Jacob! Summa Cum Laude class of 2018.
Publixs online system was unhappy with the word cum.

It would have said "Happy Birthday, ----" His name was Richard. He went by Dick.

changed one cake. So, nationwide boycott?
