High school student gets diploma after being denied for wearing Mexican flag over gown

of Asheboro High School senior Ever Lopez went viral on TikTok last week after it appeared he was stopped by the principal for wearing the flag at the graduation ceremony.

Asheboro High School senior Ever Lopez holds up his diploma as he poses with his cousin, Adolfo Hurtado.Ever got his diploma at the school while a news conference arranged by Siembra NC, an immigration advocacy organization, took place outside the building; it was livestreamed on itsAt the news conference, his mother, Margarita Lopez, said her intention was to seek solutions to the issue and ask for a public apology, which the family has not received.

"Because what happened on Thursday isn't just about my son, it's about our entire Latino community," she said, speaking in Spanish while Kelly Morales, Siembra NC executive director, translated in English."As parents, we are so proud that he has taken on the honor and pride of where his roots are and where he comes from."

The press conference paused as Ever received his diploma inside the school. Later, as he held his diploma outside, he said it was not just for him, but also for the community that supported him. He said the principal told him the dress code would re-evaluated. Asked how it felt to see the faces of his parents, who migrated from Mexico, Ever said it meant the world to him.

"They're the ones that really wanted it for me. Like I said, I did it for them and I feel really grateful now that I have it because I fought for it, they fought for it real hard, and it just means the world to me," he said."The graduate picked up his diploma at Asheboro High School on Monday, June 7 following a press conference coordinated by Siembra NC," the statement read.

He should have never been put in this position. School officials had plenty of time ,WHILE HE WAS LINED UP to tell him he violated 'dress code'.

It's just a piece of paper. They can't change the FACT that he did indeed graduate.

Weren't they required to wear the same blue robes?

I am glad this is getting national attention. I am tired of our leaders in the South getting away with controlling the narrative.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

if someone get graduated in high school in México and have the audacity to have an American flag over the gown can be easily shot to death
