A federal judge is weighing whether to let a high school student wear a Mexican and American flag sash at her graduation this weekend in Colorado
In this undated photo, Naomi Peña Villasano poses with a sash of both the Mexican and American flags that her school district barred her from wearing for her high school graduation ceremony. After Peña Villasano sued the district alleging that it violated her right to free speech, a federal judge in Colorado is weighing whether to let Peña Villasano wear the sash for graduation Saturday, May 27, 2023.
Attorneys for Naomi Peña Villasano argued in a hearing Friday in Denver that the school district decision violates her free speech rights. They also said that it's inconsistent for the district to allow Native American attire, but not Peña Villasano's sash representing her heritage. The sash has the Mexican flag on one side and the United States flag on the other.
“The district is discriminating against the expression of different cultural heritages,” said her attorney Kenneth Parreno, from the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, at Friday's hearing.
