Controversy over student's flag sash at graduation
Originally Published 2 years ago — by ABC News
A Colorado high school graduate wore a sash representing the flags of Mexico and the United States to her graduation ceremony, despite being barred from doing so by school officials. The student partially covered the flag sash with another sash representing her participation in a service organization. The school district had argued that individual sashes were not allowed to protect the symbolic traditions of graduation attire. The case is the latest in a series of disputes over cultural graduation attire in the US.
