A Grand Valley High School senior could possibly be barred from walking during her graduation ceremony if she decides to wear a special sash.
Naomi Pena Villasano, 18, wants to wear a sash around her neck that represents both the Mexican and American flags. In Mexican culture, it is referred to as a “sarape.”
But according to Garfield 16 Superintendent Jennifer Baugh, allowing Villasano to wear the sash could open too many doors. “To me, that just feels like an attack and targeted as a Mexican,” Villasano told the Post Independent on Wednesday. “I’m so saddened by this.”
