@@projectlamentation4093 your probably right

I don't think it's about the flag You are receiving your diploma not entering a boxing ring

:D

That’s my thought on this as well. They typically hand them a diploma cover at the ceremony and give the diploma separately. The ceremony is just a costume party. He could go up there and take a dump on the state and it shouldn’t affect getting his diploma at all, although he may be in legal trouble for indecent exposure or something like that.

@Headstrong Republic i don't know where you went to high school but neither i nor any of my college friends that went to different high schools signed anything but we did have a rehearsal where we got dresscoded. It was the responsibility of the staff to tell the teen that he couldn't wear the flag

It's quite possible that he didn't drape the flag over himself until he was on his way to the stage. It's not like he had to wear it the entire time he was sitting.

Exactly, he wasn’t given his “rolled up paper” he chose to attend. He was being ignorant too. I don’t understand why no one from his family talked some sense into him. I’m Mexican myself, proud of course but I know better not to disrespect this country in that way. It is my second home

I was about to say...why last minute when he is up on stage in front of everyone. So humiliating

I agree and that’s humiliating in front of everyone

I remember at my graduation they told us if we were out of dress code we wouldn't be allowed to walk on stage and get ours and that was if we decorated our caps too. This is way too late to tell him he cant get it. And let's be honest here, you're telling me no one noticed the bright flag BEFORE the ceremony started?

FORREAL like i know damn well y’all had some meet up w everyone before the ceremony thing and they never thought to tell him that at that time???

@Headstrong Republic he was standing in line, I literally just graduated and while standing in line they made sure everyone’s tassels were on the right side of the cap, made sure the pins were on the right side of the stole and that we didn’t look a mess going up on stage, so why would every single teacher and staff let him sit down with the flag and get in line with it on, AS WE SEE ON VIDEO.

Based on this news source we have no way of knowing when or how he put on the flag. Also with covid who knows what things are in place for stricter and safer school graduation

Every single graduate and their parents since the 60's (at least) know waaaaay ahead of time what's expected during a graduation ceremony.

Exactly

He asked before the ceremony they said no. He still did it

Multiple people are saying they did, and that he knew what he was doing. It's basic dress code, there's no need try to look like a victim. I can't say refusing to give him the diploma is the best idea but if they genuinely warned him and let him know what was going on then of course he needs to apologize for not following rules.

He got his diploma 4 days later

Exactly I hate stuff like this so what he had the Mexican flag draped on him

He had at least four years of high school to figure out the rules, with the dress code included. Why would he need to be told what he should already know, within minutes or hours before showing up?

This!

Selective video editing. He asked before and they said no and he still put it on. This is just the news trying to stir things up without giving the full picture. Google his name and it will be one of the pages.

@@enrgy-xh5uq I have had a few days to reflect on this issue. I agree that policy exists for a reason. With such a policy I believe there should also be training on how to handle situations. I don't believe it should matter what flag represents his culture or background. I believe that there is an appropriate way to ask a student to remove their flag by not putting a student on the spotlight in front of his family and school. They should have just been a little more sensitive. The school failed to address it appropriately by not pulling him to the side and asking him without putting him on the spotlight. At that point the ball would be in the students hands to not make a scene by disrespecting or getting loud towards staff. I believe that if he was allowed to sit and walk up to the stage then he should have been allowed to walk all the way through because they failed to provide him an opportunity to remove it without embarrassing him. I empathize with the student because I could feel how humiliated I would be if I didnt get addressed in private about such a big issue. I do not believe this warrants an apology to the school as the school also has fault by not providing him a safe and appropriate setting to remove it. Pulling people aside is important.

The diploma doesn't even really mean anything other than symbology. It's a physical object representing your graduation but the official record is held by the state. Oddly, It's really similar to the flag he wore. For example, if the flag he was wearing was confiscated it doesn't mean the country was some how taken away. It would be the same with the diploma. It makes no sense to hold either symbol hostage.

@Headstrong Republic that's a lie

@Headstrong Republic I graduated in California, no contracts were ever given to us.

@Headstrong Republic That's foolish. If a student violates dress code they don't have to be allowed to participate but holding the diploma they worked for over 4 years is arbitrary and capricious, and violates their 4th and 5th amendment rights. Making then sign a last minute contract or else they don't get their diploma also violates students' rights. The kid has been punished when he wasn't given the diploma on stage. That's enough. You're the one making this about race.

@Headstrong Republic The same constitution that applies to California applies to the South, too.

I bet you if he had the Confederate flag she wouldn't have said anything.

@@tigerpawromero6173 I’ve seen many graduates with the confederate flag and they get told nothing. So why say anything about a flag of a country.

@Headstrong Republic why they let him in the ceremony with the flag on his back? They should've told him in the beginning of the ceremony that that was prohibited.

@Headstrong Republic yeah I have graduated. They give you a specific seat and they check your name and if you're present. Plenty of time to see if you are wearing an appropriate attire.

@Headstrong Republic idk why you’re calling me a liar when I’ve seen it with my own eyes. And at my school they literally stand next to you when you go up the stage.

Exactly smfh

I agree, but didn’t he put it on at the stage? If so, that was willful disregard. My question is did he vote? That would have been a more effective assertion of his political position.

Come on... people are just cry babies these days. It's tradition, you have to dress properly for a formal event. He didn't want to obey this simple rule... Just put the fkn robe get your diploma and have a thousand pictures of you with your flag or just wear the colors under the robe. Why everyone else needs to dress ok and he doesn't?

He embarrassed himself.

@@WadeWilson- totally understandable but the way they made it seem was he had the flag on the ENTIRE time, so it seems like a faculty member could have pulled him to the side & said hey you can’t wear that. I just saw a video about something similar happening to a young black man only difference was in that case it was about the young man’s Alexander McQueen shoes. In that situation a former teacher gave the young man his own shoes, just so he could walk across that stage. All I’m saying is, it could have been handled differently 🤔😑

Nope rules are meant to be followed. If he came naked then what?

If he doesn’t have enough common sense to know how inappropriate that is, he doesn’t deserve the diploma. A dress code is a dress code. Just imagine if every student draped something different over their gown in the ceremony to show where their parents came from or their religious or political beliefs, it would look so chaotic.

It was about the dress code and he broke it. He wanted attention for being a Mexican, who graduated from an American school, and wanted everyone to know it. Meanwhile, there's probably 10 - 30 other immigrants, or more, who's parents came from another country being respectful and wearing the right dress attire. As for the diploma, they hand out fake diplomas at the ceremony while the real ones get mailed out. This saves the school time from having to sort through several hundred students and if they mess up the order, then all the diplomas gets messed up.

Lmao imagine comparing what one person did at one HS to what the HS does to someone else. Your IQ is probably lower then the temperature in your house

Different high school idiot

Pay no attention to the low IQ trolls, critical thinking skills have been bred out of the Left

@Donald and Hillary Trump not sure why any of you care, why is it “offensive” to anyone’s country? It’s a flag at the end of the day and doesn’t “offend” anyone who isn’t prejudiced (yes I went there), doesn’t “offend” anyone who is secure with themselves and what their doing in their own lives. Certain people in this country need to mind their business and stop trying to control what people of color want to represent for theirselves and their own racial group. That young man was not hurting anyone by wearing the flag on his back. Ridiculousness and plenty of bigotry going on in this country and THAT is what people should be outraged about.

@@bardgold4553 she or he was comparing the incident or drama at one high school to this high school’s situation. They didnt say that both incidents happened at the same high school. SMDH.

Yea, he just got it. But the principal got death threats and someone threatened to SHOOT UP THE SCHOOL if he didn't get it. Classy group of supporters he had.🤦‍♀️

@@heathernks8 just because some internet kids say messed up things doesn’t represent him. check ya self

@@conner7800 shut your bean hole up

@@conner7800 This wasn't some "internet kids". Police have investigated TEN threats over the past day against the SRO and principal. One was a *phone call* that literally said: "If that man doesn't get his diploma, I'll shoot up the school." Check the NEWS.

Heather you’re annoying asf mind your business was it him tho ? So stfu

Maybe he should go back to this place he holds on such high regard.

Yes, he should go back to Mexico now.

@@sureshots8155 that's a good thought.

@@sureshots8155 people like you are so sad and miserable or purely stupid

@@619elephant9 and you should go back to… oh wait you’re on stolen land!🤣🤣

It's the flag, not the sandals. Flags have a meaning. He is in the 🇺🇸 US & not Mexico. No one wears a Flag for graduation. Go back to Mexico and wear your flag there.

@@maizecharley358 I saw many people wearing a US flag😂 and he actually said that their was person at his school wearing one so do me a favor and stfu😂

@@quirk2536 Are you still in high school? If you are, you need to focus on your studies. If not, then your high school made a mistake for letting you graduate.

@@maizecharley358 Look at this xenophobe

@@maizecharley358 foolish comment. There is nothing wrong with the kid being proud of his heritage. Are you not proud of your heritage?

true

Why not tell him while he’s in line… like sorry you can’t get it until you stop wearing the flag

Yeah. Not to be punny but the whole situation is a red flag. Either enforce it at the door or be willing to discuss. Not at the literal last second. Principal EASILY could have ask someone to communicate the rules to that gentleman before hand. So something just smells off to me and others

@@samc2460 you wouldnt want to yell out at a graduation “hey! Take off the flag!” So they waited until he went to the line

@@WishingOnJellyfish they didn’t tell him while he was in line… they told him once he was up there. There’s a difference

@@samc2460 sorry for misunderstanding they messed up there but there is no reason to make a big deal out of it

Exactly!!! They are over doing it. Smh

Did you go to the same school as this guy? Probably not... that's why it's different. Different school/staff and different rules/enforcement.

@@creepy99 But wearing a flag should not be the deciding factor on if you get a diploma after four years of high school.

@@Wex883 I agree. If you look at my other comments, I support not letting him (or anyone) walk in the ceremony if they don't follow the rules but that shouldn't stop him from receiving his diploma. I also posted a link to a news story where he received his diploma yesterday.

@Junie Jake The weaponized anti-MSM always claim they leave out the facts with no facts to support their statements... what else is new...

Break the rules, pay the consequence.

@@dw6796 but he walked all the way to the stage with that flag on... Weird

@@dw6796 He ended up receiving his diploma and never had to apologize, since he did nothing wrong. Can't seem to find any consequences. 😂

@@dw6796 shut up

Their workplaces not there, there means over there

@Headstrong Republic then it makes sense and he was being a stubborn prick. Hence, deal with the consequences

Mexicans hate America

Congrats on graduating! 🎓 👏

Right like kids at my school are all disruptive and all 1k of us got our diploma

Bro i remember my ceremony. The disruptive kids had to let one last moment out and shit was funny cuz we just wanted our diplomas and go on our day. They were yelling and shit and we still got our diplomas

@@shototodoroki3543 Thank you, Mine was 11 years ago but I appreciate the sentiment.

GG on graduating! 🎓🍾

They did tell him before, that's the point. Be proud, put the flag on afterwards but at the ceremony celebrate your achievement with class-school unity, that's why everyone dresses the same. You have the rest of your life for freedom of expression.

Exactly, they did tell him before.

Absolutely I agree 1000%. Why do people make something out of nothing. Just put the flag away, apologize for violating dress code, and move on.

@@mikeswanson6145 even if they did, this “unity” you’re talking about doesn’t exist in the real world, so why not let the kid express himself? Look at our country, you’re telling me there’s any type of that “class-school unity” being carried on past high school? It’s making something out of nothing lol, just let the kid celebrate. While I agree there’s a time and a place, the kid isn’t being disrespectful or acting out on stage or having family members blow air horns, causing the ceremony to take longer or something. He wore a flag to take pride in his culture and represent that that was a part of what got him there. I see no issues with this, especially when girls can usually put their graduating year in sparkly glitter or something on their cap. Checkmate.

12 Years of BS School, You cant have it

Ikr! These schools don’t have anything better to do than taking someone’s hard work diploma just cause of some dress code. She was wearing sandals so it doesn’t make sense.

Dress codes are there for a reason. If you allow one person to break it, then you'll have to allow everybody to break it. As for the fake diploma, the real ones are mailed to the house so walking the stage isn't even necessary. He wanted attention so he could show off how he's the only person graduating who's parents are from another country. However, I'm willing to bet that there's at least 10 - 20 graduating students, besides him, who's parents are from another country.

@@saysoun752 I agree 100% dress codes are there for a reason. These kids need to learn the life lesson that dress code doesn't end in school. Our society has dress code in many places. To buy food in a store it's private property and stores have dress codes. Police station have dress codes. Restaurants, libraries, business, courthouses, the list goes on have dress codes. As these young people transition into adulthood they need to learn society has rules and dress codes are apart of that. They're kids anymore, high school said you broke the rules, then u broke the rules the kid has to be an adult deal with it and say I'm sorry for violating the rules.

Now that I think about it I'm surprised the parents didn't understand that concept smack their kid in the back of the head walk him into the office and apologize

Y’all could’ve saved your whining on my post about my opinion. What I said stands! He EARNED his diploma. Dress code should just get you barred from the ceremony if that’s what they want to do, but he deserves his diploma. I don’t care what the country is actually, so don’t assume you know anything about me. Last, some of y’all harping on rules probably never have that standard for real, egregious rule breaking that happens in this country. Cry me a river and have a great day!

Exactly!

yes, and they should have reminded him when they all gather to enter the area. Or when they were all yawning at the boring speeches attempting to sound encouraging. A teacher could have reminded him before he got up from his alphabetized seat by his last name: hey, take that off. They waited to embarrass him.

I think they should of told him to maybe take jt off before they got in the building lol instead of waiting last a minute to embarrass him infront of the people

@@EricaShady10171972 why should they have to remind an 18 year old that has finished high school? The time of treating them like children is over. If he wants to make a statement, then they can make him the example. It’s pretty simple, he’s old enough and knew better, you don’t need a reminder. If they had told him to get rid of the flag, you don’t think this same guy wouldn’t have gone online talking shit about the school saying they wouldn’t allow him to show his pride for his heritage or whatever it may be. The school was in a position where it was literally a no win situation for them.

The school problaly told the student about not getting his diploma if found in violation of dress code. But he is not getting his diploma during that specific day of the ceremony, but the school can not hold his diploma until the student apolozice. School should Sent his diploma by mail or have the student pickup his diploma another day at the school. he has already earned his diploma no reason for the school to hold the diploma until he apolozice. I VIOLATED DRESS CODE during my ceremony in 1991 and I was not able to get my diploma during the ceremony , but my diploma was Sent to me by mail and I did not have to apolozice
