School district allowed to ban dual flag sash at graduation, rules judge.

A federal judge in Colorado ruled that a school district can bar a high school student from wearing a Mexican and American flag sash at her graduation this weekend after the student sued the school district. The judge found that wearing a sash during a graduation ceremony falls under school-sponsored speech, not the student’s private speech. The student and her attorneys failed to sufficiently show they were likely to succeed, but a final ruling is still to come. This is the latest dispute in the U.S. about what kind of cultural graduation attire is allowed at commencement ceremonies.
