Ever Lopez of Asheboro, North Carolina, was set to become the first member of his immediate family to graduate from high school, but instead, he said, he was denied his diploma because he wore a Mexican flag over his gown at his graduation ceremony Thursday.

Graduation ceremonies are all about conformity vs. individuality.
Up my way most of the High Schools required uniform matching face masks even though the ceremonies were outdoors!
A few non conformists in the crowd but not enough...
They were allowed to decorate their mortarboards.
He chose to NOT follow the dress code.
The usual suspects are lining up to shout their favorite word. Again.
Surely he graduated, but he didn’t get to do the ceremony.
You don’t flunk graduation because you don’t go to get your fake diploma.
I read that story earlier. The student still does not get why he was in the wrong wrapping himself in the Mexican flag at a graduation ceremony. Since this is year 2021, it’s no surprise that thousands of students signed a petition that he should get his diploma anyway. I’m glad the school didn’t cave.
he can wear the flag after the ceremony and take pics then
i dont have a problem with dress codes
do your publicity/political stunts after the ceremony or before it
“What would happen if a kid wore a Confederate flag at graduation?”
The SF Chronicle would rediscover its love of the death penalty.
Send his diploma to mexico and tell him to go get it, then don’t let him back in.
Bet he has a sad now since the USA just beat Meh-Hee-Co to win the Nations League Final.
If you read the quotes attributed to the kid, it seems clear he was pushed through the system. He is probably more comfortable communicating in sentences of two letter words and numbers.
Since he loves Mexico so much, send him back there.
They cant deny him his diploma, it’ll get mailed to him.
I call bs.
He’s not graduating from a Mexican high school.
What a dipschit!
If he doesn’t know where he is he doesn’t deserve a diploma anyway...,
If only he were as proud of the U.S.
He can get on the plane with their loser soccer team.
As is proper. If this student wanted to graduate and represent Mexico he should have attended and graduated from a Mexican University. To Dis America in this way is unacceptable. He does not deserve an American university diploma. He should apply for Transfer Credits to the Mexican university of his choice and move to that country to pursue his career opportunities.
GO HOME! OR BECOME AN AMERICAN. Quit bringing your failed ways with you. If you think where you came from was so wonderful, why the f are your here? It is NOT uncommon for people to move from one place to another. IT IS IDIOTIC FOR SOMEONE TO WANT TO TURN THE PLACE THEY FLED TO INTO THE SAME CRAPHOLE THEY FLED FROM!!!
My graduation ceremony... I remember it well. The drama was wither I would haul off and deck the “class president” for instigating a fight between me and a couple of guys. Actually he instigated the fight against one guy, but the fella was too cowardly to handle his business alone... so he brought a buddy. 2 on 1. The trouble for them was that I had a friend nearby and it became even. Then they went from wanting to kick my ass to wanting to talk. To this day, I still don’t understand the whole thing. I guess the class president was just a budding “politician” (meaning a liar and an a-hole).
The little shithead doesn’t want to acknowledge that he got his “real” education in the United States, not Mexico. Obviously his parents knew something he didn’t learn or hasn’t learned yet, namely that “America is great”.
Now, if this were other “politically correct” schools and he was to wear the American flag, he would have been stripped of his diploma, flunked for his senior year, ostracized as an “American nationalist/supremacist”, and tied to a burro and dragged through the streets of his home city/town.
I’m glad this school is united in being “Americans”. Let’s see how long before it is burned to the ground.
