Police have reported three additional threats, even after the diploma was given to Ever Lopez. We investigate their progress on the major threats so far.
Perez Estrada is a financial assistant at UC San Diego and a first-generation college student who graduated from Columbia University and lives in La Jolla.
On June 3, Ever López of Asheboro High School in Asheboro, North Carolina, was denied his diploma for allegedly breaking the graduation dress code by wearing his ancestral Mexican flag over his graduation regalia. This was followed by four police officers escorting him and his family off campus grounds during the graduation ceremony. Shortly afterwards, the high school released an online statement which said that Ever “detracted from the importance and the solemnity of the ceremony” by attaching the Mexican flag to his graduation gown.
A Facebook post from Eric Hicks, a 2022 candidate for Randolph County sheriff, called for federal agents to come to a protest at Asheboro High School. Hicks said the post was a response to threats made against school officials after a student was temporarily denied his diploma when he wore a Mexican flag to graduation.
Students and community members gathered at the school multiple times since Thursday to show support for the student, Ever Lopez.
Hicks message was posted in a Facebook group called Randolph County Crime and News, which has 18,000 members. The group was created by Hicks, according to the group description.
