Kayleigh Craddock , a homecoming queen, wearing a Mexican heritage sash at her Brazosport High School graduation in May 2023 .Cynthia Vasquez of Freeport, Texas, was looking forward to picking up her daughter Kayleigh Craddock, 18, from her college this week so she could attend homecoming festivities at her former high school, where she was crowned homecoming queen last year.
“Graduation dress guidelines are communicated to all graduates,” the school district wrote in a statement. “The school policy addresses the wearing of unauthorized sashes or accessories.

The mother claims that there had been some back-and-forth confusion between Kayleigh and the school on whether she could wear the stole at the graduation event. “It was kind of an up-in-the-air thing,” Vasquez tells PEOPLE.Vasquez says that they were very late to the ceremony, and when they arrived “she had [the sash] on her."
She disputes the part of BISD’s statement alleging that Kayleigh was warned by school officials to not wear the stole. “If that's the case, who's the teacher who told her? Because nobody told her to take it off," she says., Kayleigh, who is a freshman at Sam Houston State University, said: “I’m half Black and half Mexican, and I want everybody to know that I love both sides equally.
