Why this petition matters

Started by Ruby Mendez

At Southwest Legacy High School from @southwestisd an injustice has been made . Student Ashley Saucedo ( @ashleysaguez ) took out the Mexico flag to show proud she is of her roots , we all know that there is people hundreds of people DAILY , who are trying to cross the border to get a better future , to live a better life , she did not do this to offend or disrespect any one in any way , shape , or form . When she went backstage they gave her diploma THEN took it away . They ( @southwestisd , @alamodomesa ) asked her to leave the Graduation Ceremony or she’ll be arrested . Ashley was also REMOVED from the graduation Ceremony video . We demand for her diploma and an APOLOGY from the district! San Antonio is full of MEXICAN Culture! The audacity to kick her out AND hold her diploma , it took over a decade , her sweat and tears , to receive her diploma , especially with the Worldwide Pandemic AND the Texas Snowstorm . This year was NOT easy . She deserves her Diploma ! 

.
Before y’all say “she broke the rules” well guess what , many others did too and NOTHING happened to them , they said “only a small wave” yet others danced , posed , & showed their tattoos , who also signed the contract , they still received their diploma & were allowed to stay for the rest of the Graduation Ceremony.

ARRIBA MEXICO !
