Publix Omits The Word “Cum” On Woman’s “Summa Cum Laude” Cake

What many people believe to be the highest distinction among Latin honors, Publix grocery store believes it’s incredibly inappropriate. So much so, that the grocery store refused to honor a South Carolina family’s request to celebrate the honor.

According to TMZ, a woman ordered a cake online to celebrate her son graduating from his homeschool program with a 4.79 GPA, which translates to a Summa Cum Laude honor. But, when a friend of the woman went to pick up the cake, she saw the word “Cum” was omitted.

“My son was humiliated! I seriously couldn’t make this crap up” the woman said on Facebook, revealing that the word was an apparent violation of the store’s obscenity policy. “How utterly ridiculous and I will be speaking to a manager for a refund. Shame on you Publix for turning an innocent Latin phrase into a total embarrassment for having to explain to my son and other (including my 70-year-old mother) about this joke of a cake.”
