Students defy school policies, wear Mexican flag sashes at graduation ceremonies.
TL;DR
A US high school student, Naomi Peña Villasano, defied a court ruling and wore a Mexican flag sash at her graduation ceremony, despite a judge ruling that the school district could ban her from doing so. Peña Villasano had attempted to sue the school district, citing free speech, but the judge argued that wearing a sash during a graduation event was school-sponsored speech, not private speech. Peña Villasano graduated on Saturday, wearing her sash despite the ruling.
