Student sues to wear Mexican and American flag sash at high school graduation

Oh for Allah's sake! I guess we should just turn high school graduations into costume parades so everyone can wear whatever they want.

Wanna wear a dress even though you're a dude? Sure! Dress like a cowboy cowperson, astronaut, demon or angel. Wanna wear your Che Guevara t-shirt, Nazi uniform or KKK robes? Why not? It's YOUR graduation, you earned it.

Need to express that you're a naturist? Wear nothing. The little girls in the audience won't mind seeing your weiner bouncing around. If they do, they might as well get used to it in case they ever join the school's softball team.
 


No wonder there are so many lawyers in America. The school is being very mean in this instance.
It is far too complex for you to have any meaningful opinion , Tummy . The ramifications of Critical Theory in practical terms are far too many for you to comprehend and reply to . Best off you stick to your Welsh football and ways of avoiding being a permanent squatter in Wrexham FCs stadium car park .

Let her wear them under her gown, no need to display anything at high school graduation except gap, gown and diploma.

Her heritage is obviously important to her. Why deny her that ?

Its mental that you compare a hero like Che with klan trash. Truly pitiful.

Its a sash. US on one side and Mexico on the other. A bit like the Rio Grande.
 
‘An attorney representing the Garfield County School District 16 countered that Native American regalia is required to be allowed in Colorado and is categorically different from wearing a country's flags. Permitting Peña Villasano to sport the U.S. and Mexican flags as a sash, said Holly Ortiz, could open “the door to offensive material.”’ ibid

Nonsense.

That a rightwing racist or bigot might display a symbol of hate doesn’t justify disallowing Peña Villasano from wearing the Mexican flag.
 
Disagree.

It’s a matter of freedom of expression – there’s nothing to warrant government preempting that freedom of expression.
