Wylie High School Graduation Ceremony marred by alleged discrimination against Palestinian graduates. A video circulating online shows Palestinian students being pushed and shoved as they carried their flag during their graduation ceremony at Wylie High School. Superintendent David Vinson is seen in the video snatching the flag from a student. "It was a very upsetting experience," said one of the affected graduates, who wished to remain anonymous. Principal Brian Alexander also refused to take photos with the students. The incident has sparked outrage among students, parents, and community members who are calling for an investigation and accountability from school officials. The school district released a statement acknowledging the incident, but it did not address the allegations of discrimination.
