No wonder there are so many lawyers in America. The school is being very mean in this instance.

she's 100% American, and 100% Mexican?

How did she graduate with math skills like that?

 

[Moonglow]

No need for flag-waiving at prom it's supposed to be about getting laid.

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.

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 .

I don't know why there would be such an issue at a graduation ceremony in the first place considering the fact that all graduating students are to have on a cap and gown.

God bless you always!!!

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

What if she wanted to wear a Confederate sash? Apparently the 1st Amendment only works one way.

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.

Why deny anybody anything? Just let everyone wear whatever they want. Don't cherry pick who has rights and who doesn't.

Che Was a Racist, Homophobe and Mass Murderer

‘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.

What exactly would be the harm in letting them wear what they want?

including KKK hoods, Nazi regalia?

 

[braalian]

Graduation ceremonies have dress codes.

If they say she can’t wear it, she can’t wear it.

What’s the big deal?
