Yet another 'issue' involving a student and choice of clothing. Looks like this student was deliberately trying to provoke and antagonize so he could present himself as a viral 'hero' to the masses. Proof is his live twitter feed of the event.

Rules are rules.

A student in Sacramento, Calif., was escorted out of his graduation because of the way he accessorized his cap and gown.

Nyree Holmes wore a kente cloth scarf — made of interwoven silk and cotton cloth strips — as a nod to his African roots. According to his series of tweets, Holmes arrived at the matriculation ceremony with the cloth, and was approached by teacher Matthew Mason as he was about to go onstage, and told to remove it. “I tell him ‘no, this is mine,‘” Holmes explained. “The[n] Mason proceeds to tell me that I cannot walk the stage with it on. And I respond, ‘but I will.'”

In California? Should've been the flag of Mexico. Then they wouldn't have touched him.
