Judge upholds school district's ban on Mexican and American flag sash at graduation
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge ruled that a Colorado school district can bar a high school student from wearing a Mexican and American flag sash at her graduation, stating that wearing a sash during a graduation ceremony falls under school-sponsored speech, not the student's private speech. The student and her attorneys argued that the school district decision violates her free speech rights and is inconsistent with allowing Native American attire. Similar disputes have played out across the U.S. this graduation season, with many focusing on tribal regalia.
