HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — The mother of a south-central Nebraska boy says he wasn’t allowed to attend his graduation ceremony because his clothing and shoes didn’t meet school expectations. Nancy Johnson, of Hastings, told the Hastings Tribune that her son stood in a lobby on May 5 while his classmates stepped forward to receive their diplomas at Adams Central High School. Johnson says her son, Hunter, had worn a T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes but was soon told he couldn’t participate unless he changed into nicer clothing. He called his mom, who took him clean jeans. She says he doesn’t have dress shoes or pants and that the jeans ultimately kept him out of the ceremony. District Superintendent Shawn Scott says graduates should be respectful for such ceremonies, which includes meeting expectations for attire.
