Twenty students from Humble Summer Creek High School were prevented from wearing colorful cultural sashes at their graduation ceremony, prompting accusations of discrimination from the Latino community.
What should have been a joyous occasion for 20 students was marred by controversy after an administrator demanded they remove their traditional Mexican stoles before crossing the stage.
A school district spokesperson says the 20 impacted students should have been allowed to wear their colorful stoles at Saturday's graduation ceremony, but added that the snafu "had nothing to do with race or culture."
