Everyone is told they must be in cap and gown to receive their diploma. That is why he did not receive his diploma. Deliberately defying the rules. No exceptions for anyone!
People need to be careful. If you allow people to drape "national" flags over themselves during graduation and say it is my heritage, then someone else will wear a confederate flag and say that it is their heritage. There is a difference between heritage and nationalism. That flag is a flag of another nation. The point that some people seem to miss is that he violated the dress code. Whenever I graduated from high school, college, etc., there was always a strict dress code. To me this is about the violation of the code more than anything.
If he has the right to wear another nations flag to a ceremony, why don't I have the right to set it on fire with him in it? after all, killing enemies and defending my territory is part of my heritage.
My grand daughter wore a Mexican snd African flag on her stole and they didn’t say nothing. Also students with different or their native language said a few words to show us how diverse the school was.
Natalia Bryant graduated a year after her father Kobe Bryant passed, she wore the Lakers Nation purple and gold colors honoring her Father for being part of her life formative years. No one said anything
So America's where u want to be, its where your parents want u to be, its the country that gave u an education.....but you wanna wear a Mexican flag? Ok
@@edisondraxler1456 when have you seen an Italian American, Polish-American, African American or any immigrant minority wave a flag from their homeland countries at a graduation? On American soil where they’re given the freedom and opportunities. It’s disrespectful and even more shameful when that flag represents a government run by the drug cartel. There’s nothing to be proud of.
@@versuskid4232 it's not the government it represents lmao it's the countries history, heritage, and culture you do realize that the term what has that country done for you is completely stupid and nonsensical it's not the country by itself a country is literally a peace of land you don't magically get benefits and a good life just by being born on that piece of land if it has no government or no stable government, ever stop to think that if the United States didn't have the government that it does it would literally be a third world country and if latin america didn't have the leaders that it's had it would be the most developed region
Never forget your heritage and where you came from, but respect where you are and how you got there now where a pin...I see this tuning into a free for all flag waving ceremony not a graduation. You are there to celebrate your graduation...all should be held accountable and follow the same rules and guidelines.
Evelyn Gomez Just because you an “American-Mexican” doesn’t give anyone the right to display their flag at a graduation ceremony like that. Wear a pin. That is disrespecting the country that he graduated in and where he got his education…and who’s Tax Dollars allowed him the opportunity to graduate. Every country has had its difficulties in history. My grand parents and parents are survivors of Natzi Germany and WWII. They came to America as immigrants also. So, Yes, I do understand the struggles most immigrants have had. But, if they allow 1 flag than all will wear a flag and that will take away from the real purpose of the graduation…to celebrate their success and accomplishment.
You know actually in mexico you are not allowed to wrap around yourself with the mexican flag cause is considered disrespectful. But obviously those edgars would do it cause they dont know how to follow simple rules.
He could have decorated his cap like most did, he knew he couldn't wear it over his gown. His fault for being a dumb kid who refused to follow the dress code.
The other day I saw a very nice and clean af, f-150. Safe to say que si quemaba cuh. Anyway In the back was a flag waving with one side which was the Mexican flag and the opposite side was showing the American flag. Never seen that before, but that’s how you represent the raza and show your not an ignorant pendejo.

@most hated - I totally and strongly agree with you. IGNORE what negative comments anyone has towards you it’s only their ignorance. They’re totally clueless and ungrateful for what this country has given them. My parents came from Central America in early 1963 became legal citizens. I was born two years later In Los Angeles. I acknowledged myself as a proud American 🇺🇸 . My uncle volunteered and fought In Vietnam. At no time or place did I ever feel the need to display flags from my parents home countries. My family has appreciated what this country has given us - the absolute freedom that no one else in this world has such as us. Never would I disrespect the life or risk that my uncle took as well as any American 🇺🇸 soldier who fought for our liberty 🗽 & freedom. It would have been so disrespectful to do such a thing. I have no shame having Hispanic heritage but definitely have no shame being a proud American 🇺🇸 and what opportunities & liberties this country has given my family. Most of my friends are 3rd to 5th generation Mexican-American but they have no desire to display the Mexican flag and consider themselves 🇺🇸 Americans because they too consider it foolish and disrespectful. Corruption and drug cartel controlled governments In these countries are nothing to be proud of, its disgraceful, and shameful. This was definitely another display of disrespect towards the U.S. besides that disgusting, stupid, homophobic, and ignorant Mexican crowd jeering at soccer match with the 🇺🇸 team winning- such sore losers. It presents the wrong impression of Mexican and Mexican- Americans as crass and uneducated people playing into all the negative stereotypes. I definitely don’t like to see or think of my friends being part of such a negative group. That kid will probably use the race card which is desperate attempt to explain his actions obviously such bullshit. Hypocrisy & hate was on full display at that soccer match from that Mexican crowd. These youth will never wake up too see what educational opportunities this great country has given them. I was on vacation years ago in Europe and always acknowledged myself when people asked where I was from as American. During the 1984 soccer match between Italy & USA at the Rose Bowl I cried during our national anthem and felt extremely proud. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY /THE USA !!!!🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

The Native Americans were here first and they aren’t Mexican. 23,000 years ago their origins began In Siberia which is now known as Russia or Eurasia.

Displaying the Mexican flag on American soil just gives the impression of entitlement, ignorance, and self discrimination. You box yourself in when you’re presented that way. Every parent at that graduation worked hard to see their kid graduate. Where you’re from doesn’t make your struggle more important than others.

If he passed high school and has no debts, it's illegal to withhold the diploma. Principal wants an apology before giving the diploma. This won't end up well for her.
No, there is no law saying that, and no one should apologize to some smartass foreigner who should never have been allowed to come here in the first place. Why doesn't that filthy leech just move to Mexico if he loves it so much? sounds to me like someone needs to take the little creep out before he begins his life of crime, like most of them do.
Ah people finding way to stay relevant with protest , I’m Mexican American and I hate how most of them never follows the rules they segregate themselves and wonder why they never get any opportunities

Schools always have people on power trips. Get over it. Just give him the diploma he earned and you'll never see him again. Why are you dragging it out?
He will get the diploma but guess what, it's called a dress code period, no matter what flag the school made it clear. What kinda crap would it be with all the gowns covered over with whatever the hell they want. It's called a simple dress code read what the school allowed and didn't allow.
Just as easy for the kid to not don the flag and get his diploma and don the flag after for photos. Story is a huge nothingburger and should remain local but instead it's being used as fuel for a larger political purpose.
Its called racism and pride. This is like the " equal opportunity employer " right. They will never tell you you dont get the job for being different and can never be proven.
@@evielknievel4972 Come on...stop the "omg racism" speech. It's a formal event with a dressing rule, to keep tradition of the academic accomplishment.

All he had to do was dress properly, is that really hard? If it is... good luck on life pal. Many worse situations than just putting a robe and a hat in order to get something.
He should know better I had several kids graduate. They all have strict rules like this. Everyone is dress coded a day prior and given strict guidelines & you won't get your diploma if you don't follow they let you know that prior.
That's exactly what's wrong with this country. Everybody goes out of their way to break the rules or needs some type of attention grabbing stunt to be noticed. Graduations are supposed to be solemn ceremonies to show that the students have accomplished something. Not a place to show off or disrupt others proud moments.

@@randywaye1734 it's just a high school diploma. What is the big deal? The kid need to start his life m; he's barely leaving the nest. Why is this such a big issue than it should be????
Simply because its a rule. Why not let the next years grads wear whatever they want. How about a bathing suit? Rules are put in place for a reason.

Why is this on the news? Why are people supporting the disruption of a solemn event and the defiling of the academic regalia. Even a military uniform is not suitable, people have tried that and made the news. Same issue. This is a solemn academic ritual.
@@FernandoChaves They can not hang onto the diploma. It’s amazing just how many Americans don’t even know the laws of the state, let alone the nation. The diploma is awarded by the state for satisfying the state’s educational requirements, not the dress code of the school. The principal, superintendent and board representative sign to certify that all those educational requirements have been met. Once the student satisfies the state credit requirements you have to award the diploma. No exceptions.
Good, I sent it to my family in Mexico. They all said why would he want to put a damn flag on. It's like graduating in Mexico and putting a American flag on. It would piss them off.
You're right. I just think the reason for that is Mexico isn't composed from multiple ethnical variants like in the US. Ei but truly, I wouldn't let my kid walk with a peruvian flag in America. I'll be ok with both flags. However, this isn't the right way to send a kid to adulthood. This isn't going to work as a lesson. It's going to be discouraging and it's going to make high school education in America look more poor that it already is. Education should have a progressive posture that the principal didnt represent.
@@msr7827 Because it's basically spitting the face of the country that has taken you in and treated you like one of their own by giving you an education.
Speak like you're educated Lopez. And if you want to wear the Mexican flag, then go live, work & go to school in Mexico. At the same time I know that if Lopez or any other student had been wearing a rag that said BLM on it, it would have been perfectly ok with the school. God save America 🇺🇸 --Bell, CA. 🇺🇸

I would love to know where in the rules it says you can’t receive your diploma if you wear a flag. No where. That’s not a requirement, passing your classes and returning school materials are.

I'm a USA Army veteran and would never adorn myself with the flag of our country. It's disrespectful.

With this being the case, one would think they would be proud or at the very least loyal to the place that provided a better life to their family.
@AARON B That’s a racist comment to make to assume no other minority has worked harder in this country is ignorant. You make yourself or any other Hispanics who aren’t Mexican look stupid and foolish by making those comments. It’s also saying that African Americans didn’t contribute, you’re trivializing and mocking their struggles here. If you were born here or came here don’t slap the hand that feeds you. Have gratitude for what this country has given you because Mexico sure couldn’t give it you. Where you’re from doesn’t make your struggle more important than others. Mexico is run by drug cartel who really run government over there, it has high unemployment, and high obesity rate. That’s nothing to be proud of. The display of hate, racism, and homophobia at last week’s soccer match against the 🇺🇸 USA was disgraceful and 🤮 disgusting. That backwards mentality is so 1950’s. The use of ape and a gay demeaning words heard at the match symbolize what Mexicans are about.

If the school made it clear that the students had to wear their robes properly and he disobeyed that rule, then... sorry I'm with the school on this one. And I'm latino, so it's not about the flag, it's about respecting the institution. When I had my diploma I had to go through several rules in the ceremony, like not being allowed even to put the frickin hat before getting the diploma itself... so why someone NEEDS to do this? Why not make several pictures with the flag after the ceremony? It's about respecting tradition. So soon people will get their diplomas wearing all kinds of stuff. This generation thinks they can do whatever they want and after something goes wrong, complain in social media, then they will recruit an army of whiners with them, and anyone who disagrees (having good common sense) will also be a target for these brainless people.

It was a “distraction“, but we all know it was a trashy move. Maybe you should move to Mexico. Better yet, bring a big flag and walk down the street with it on your shoulders. Let us know what happens man. 💯🇺🇸
Rules are rules? What rules? This school is bias and prejudiced. I wore my flags (puerto Rico and Dominican) at my HS graduation and I did diploma. So that means the “rules” is prejudiced. Poor graduate, he’ll his get diploma eventually
I've been to plenty of graduations for high school and college if there is a certain dress code it often gets enforced period!! Has nothing to do with what flag it is
Back when I graduated there were very strict dress code and if you failed to follow the rules you got your diploma in the mail about 2 weeks later no issue here
I feel bad for the kid, but not that bad. There are strict rules and consequences that are gone over and over and over. This is not a tailgate party. It is a formal event. Some people hoot and holler like they're at a monster truck rally but they aren't graduating and kicking them out is logistically impossible. But if a student does not toe the line on graduation apparel, they don't get to walk. There are thousands of people in attendance, some of whom have flown there to see this once-in-a-lifetime event. It's not a backyard barbecue. He knew the rules before he went up. He decided to march to the beat of his own drum. He'll get his diploma but he also got to walk back to his seat without a diploma because he chose TO ACT LIKE AN ASS AT GRADUATION. These are not new rules. I feel bad for the kid, but not that bad.
It should've been a happy moment for him and his family. Finishing high school is a proud moment especially being the first in your family . SMFH this sucks!!!!!!! He completed his last year through ZOOOMMM and they didn't show any sympathy....???????!!!!!!!!! F*** that school . Where does it say nooooo flaggssssssssssss on gownnnnn
I don't want to assume you are a drop out...but all graduates are giving notifications of what can be worn as they walk...He clearly wanted his 15 mins of fame..

Rules are rules, if the rule is you shouldn't be wearing something over your gown at your graduation ceremony, then it is what it is! I'm glad this school isn't falling for these minorities' "you're a racist" guilt game. Secondly, this is America not Mexico, this guy got an education from an American school that America gave him, if there's any flag he should be wearing, it's the American flag. What a nerve to be wearing a foreign flag in any case as an American citizen. I'm Korean-American with roots in Korea and Japan, and I embrace my roots and heritage immensely and actually hope to move to either country. I'm not even a huge fan of America myself considering what it's done historically and currently doing to my root countries, but I have the decency to be good and grateful to THIS COUNTRY and acknowledge all the good things it's done for me and my family, I just happen to be an American citizen born and raised in America. I wouldn't wear a Korean Taegukgi or a Japanese Nisshōki at my ceremony after graduating from an American school that America gave me.
It’s just really frustrating that all of the people in the comments are making a big deal about him wearing a flag representing his culture I think it would be fine if everyone did it, wears a flag that represents their culture as long as it’s not offensive to any other culture or person it shouldn’t be a big deal and to be honest with everything that’s going on in the world that we’ve all had to go through with the pandemic and still dealing with that shouldn’t even be a big issue he worked hard for that diploma just give it to him ppl now of days really blow the smallest thing out of proportion

He shouldn't wear that for sure. Simply put u r graduating from an American school in the United States. We all can see u r Mexican buddy. After the ceremony if u r that proud then put your flag over your cap an gown. That was very inappropriate an disrespectful for the ceremony in general. There always has to be a class clown an he was def the one. If u r so proud u should be wearing an American flag around your body celebrating u graduating from an American school in the greatest country in the land. Is there something wrong with that. U choose option b👎🏾

I admire his love for Mexico. I'm sure he'll go back to Mexico to help it to get back up. At least he should thank the taxpayers of the USA for his education before he leaves.
Okay first off a lot of y’all are saying stuff about the rules and so on . But come on just because they are so called “rules” doesn’t give that principal the right of withholding his diploma! I went to this school and this principal has always has always been like this . Making rules out of the fucking blue . Like come on clearly if the teachers didn’t tell him “hey , take it off your not allowed to wear that” is because they clearly didn’t see a problem with it . They are literally a line of teachers sitting down before you even get to the stage . If she had a problem she could have easily said okay talk to me after the ceremony and then dealt with the problem. Be like “hey you did this and I’m not happy with it it was a distraction or whatever “ but no she decided to basically humiliate him in front of so many people !!! That’s the worse thing she could have done like come on . Why go out of your way to do that . He was already going on stage . Why try to take it off right there . Idk but only thing I gotta say is most of y’all don’t understand that . There are many different ways they could have dealt with this . She is just making herself look like a whole fool tbh .

People need to be careful. If you allow people to drape "national" flags over themselves during graduation and say it is my heritage, then someone else will wear a confederate flag and say that it is their heritage. There is a difference between heritage and nationalism. That flag is a flag of another nation. The point that some people seem to miss is that he violated the dress code. Whenever I graduated from high school, college, etc., there was always a strict dress code. To me this is about the violation of the code more than anything.
the list never specifies a flag, racist white bum
Actually I am Black. I guess my problem is I tend to look at things from every point of view unlike some.
If he has the right to wear another nations flag to a ceremony, why don't I have the right to set it on fire with him in it? after all, killing enemies and defending my territory is part of my heritage.
@@set1k379 the dress code said that only the cap can be decorated
What about a transgender not being allowed to wear the Gay rainbow flag over her/his shoulder?
My grand daughter wore a Mexican snd African flag on her stole and they didn’t say nothing. Also students with different or their native language said a few words to show us how diverse the school was.
Natalia Bryant graduated a year after her father Kobe Bryant passed, she wore the Lakers Nation purple and gold colors honoring her Father for being part of her life formative years. No one said anything

Just because you an “American-Mexican” doesn’t give anyone the right to display their flag at a graduation ceremony like that. Wear a pin. That is disrespecting the country that he graduated in and where he got his education…and who’s Tax Dollars allowed him the opportunity to graduate.
Every country has had its difficulties in history. My grand parents and parents are survivors of Natzi Germany and WWII. They came to America as immigrants also. So, Yes, I do understand the struggles most immigrants have had.
But, if they allow 1 flag than all will wear a flag and that will take away from the real purpose of the graduation…to celebrate their success and accomplishment.
totally agree
You know actually in mexico you are not allowed to wrap around yourself with the mexican flag cause is considered disrespectful. But obviously those edgars would do it cause they dont know how to follow simple rules.

@most hated - I totally and strongly agree with you. IGNORE what negative comments anyone has towards you it’s only their ignorance. They’re totally clueless and ungrateful for what this country has given them. My parents came from Central America in early 1963 became legal citizens. I was born two years later In Los Angeles. I acknowledged myself as a proud American 🇺🇸 . My uncle volunteered and fought In Vietnam. At no time or place did I ever feel the need to display flags from my parents home countries. My family has appreciated what this country has given us - the absolute freedom that no one else in this world has such as us. Never would I disrespect the life or risk that my uncle took as well as any American 🇺🇸 soldier who fought for our liberty 🗽 & freedom. It would have been so disrespectful to do such a thing. I have no shame having Hispanic heritage but definitely have no shame being a proud American 🇺🇸 and what opportunities & liberties this country has given my family. Most of my friends are 3rd to 5th generation Mexican-American but they have no desire to display the Mexican flag and consider themselves 🇺🇸 Americans because they too consider it foolish and disrespectful. Corruption and drug cartel controlled governments In these countries are nothing to be proud of, its disgraceful, and shameful. This was definitely another display of disrespect towards the U.S. besides that disgusting, stupid, homophobic, and ignorant Mexican crowd jeering at soccer match with the 🇺🇸 team winning- such sore losers. It presents the wrong impression of Mexican and Mexican- Americans as crass and uneducated people playing into all the negative stereotypes. I definitely don’t like to see or think of my friends being part of such a negative group. That kid will probably use the race card which is desperate attempt to explain his actions obviously such bullshit. Hypocrisy & hate was on full display at that soccer match from that Mexican crowd. These youth will never wake up too see what educational opportunities this great country has given them. I was on vacation years ago in Europe and always acknowledged myself when people asked where I was from as American. During the 1984 soccer match between Italy & USA at the Rose Bowl I cried during our national anthem and felt extremely proud. I LOVE THIS COUNTRY /THE USA !!!!🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

The diploma is awarded by the state for satisfying the state’s educational requirements, not the dress code of the school. The principal, superintendent and board representative sign to certify that all those educational requirements have been met. Once the student satisfies the state credit requirements you have to award the diploma. No exceptions.

Good, I sent it to my family in Mexico. They all said why would he want to put a damn flag on. It's like graduating in Mexico and putting a American flag on. It would piss them off.
Why would it?
You're right. I just think the reason for that is Mexico isn't composed from multiple ethnical variants like in the US.
Ei but truly, I wouldn't let my kid walk with a peruvian flag in America. I'll be ok with both flags. However, this isn't the right way to send a kid to adulthood. This isn't going to work as a lesson. It's going to be discouraging and it's going to make high school education in America look more poor that it already is. Education should have a progressive posture that the principal didnt represent.
Correcto!

Speak like you're educated Lopez. And if you want to wear the Mexican flag, then go live, work & go to school in Mexico. At the same time I know that if Lopez or any other student had been wearing a rag that said BLM on it, it would have been perfectly ok with the school. God save America 🇺🇸

Did he break a rule? Yes. Typically, they don’t let you walk, instead they took it a step further and took his diploma away. I would love to know where in the rules it says you can’t receive your diploma if you wear a flag. No where. That’s not a requirement, passing your classes and returning school materials are. Give the kid his diploma.
I'm a USA Army veteran and would never adorn myself with the flag of our country. It's disrespectful. Only people that have no clue about serving and the meaning of a flag do ignorant stuff like this. However, it's not a good reason to deny the diploma. There are better ways to handle that situation but Karen failed. It shows how emotionally-detached these Karens are. :).
I even think this comment is over exaggerating too. He is honoring his background and culture. Nothing wrong with that. I have seen many students wearing the US flag when they take their diploma in my country.

@@sashalove83 Who said he couldn't be proud of his heritage?
He says he has to make his family proud because they worked hard to get him to where he is.

With this being the case, one would think they would be proud or at the very least loyal to the place that provided a better life to their family.

@AARON B That’s a racist comment to make to assume no other minority has worked harder in this country is ignorant. You make yourself or any other Hispanics who aren’t Mexican look stupid and foolish by making those comments. It’s also saying that African Americans didn’t contribute, you’re trivializing and mocking their struggles here. If you were born here or came here don’t slap the hand that feeds you. Have gratitude for what this country has given you because Mexico sure couldn’t give it you. Where you’re from doesn’t make your struggle more important than others. Mexico is run by drug cartel who really run government over there, it has high unemployment, and high obesity rate. That’s nothing to be proud of. The display of hate, racism, and homophobia at last week’s soccer match against the 🇺🇸 USA was disgraceful and 🤮 disgusting. That backwards mentality is so 1950’s. The use of ape and a gay demeaning words heard at the match symbolize what Mexicans are about. Every parent at that graduation worked their ass off to put their kid through school being Mexican doesn’t give you entitlement. You can’t practice HYPOCRISY and bitch about waving a flag at a graduation when you don’t stand for something right.

I just hope that people don’t take advantage of that privilege. Like if there rules (major or minor) just follow it. Don’t be extra!

If the school made it clear that the students had to wear their robes properly and he disobeyed that rule, then... sorry I'm with the school on this one.
And I'm latino, so it's not about the flag, it's about respecting the institution. When I had my diploma I had to go through several rules in the ceremony, like not being allowed even to put the frickin hat before getting the diploma itself... so why someone NEEDS to do this? Why not make several pictures with the flag after the ceremony? It's about respecting tradition. So soon people will get their diplomas wearing all kinds of stuff. This generation thinks they can do whatever they want and after something goes wrong, complain in social media, then they will recruit an army of whiners with them, and anyone who disagrees (having good common sense) will also be a target for these brainless people.

Rules are rules, if the rule is you shouldn't be wearing something over your gown at your graduation ceremony, then it is what it is! I'm glad this school isn't falling for these minorities' "you're a racist" guilt game. Secondly, this is America not Mexico, this guy got an education from an American school that America gave him, if there's any flag he should be wearing, it's the American flag. What a nerve to be wearing a foreign flag in any case as an American citizen. I'm Korean-American with roots in Korea and Japan, and I embrace my roots and heritage immensely and actually hope to move to either country. I'm not even a huge fan of America myself considering what it's done historically and currently doing to my root countries, but I have the decency to be good and grateful to THIS COUNTRY and acknowledge all the good things it's done for me and my family, I just happen to be an American citizen born and raised in America. I wouldn't wear a Korean Taegukgi or a Japanese Nisshōki at my ceremony after graduating from an American school that America gave me.

I went to this school and this principal has always has always been like this . Making rules out of the fucking blue . Like come on clearly if the teachers didn’t tell him “hey , take it off your not allowed to wear that” is because they clearly didn’t see a problem with it . They are literally a line of teachers sitting down before you even get to the stage . If she had a problem she could have easily said okay talk to me after the ceremony and then dealt with the problem. Be like “hey you did this and I’m not happy with it it was a distraction or whatever “ but no she decided to basically humiliate him in front of so many people !!! That’s the worse thing she could have done like come on . Why go out of your way to do that . He was already going on stage . Why try to take it off right there . Idk but only thing I gotta say is most of y’all don’t understand that . There are many different ways they could have dealt with this . She is just making herself look like a whole fool tbh .
He's from Mexico he don't need no stinking dress code.
