Students defy school policies, wear Mexican flag sashes at graduation ceremonies.

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 graduated on Saturday, wearing her sash despite the ruling.
