Go Skins Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 https://www.yahoo.com/news/texas-valedictorian-under-fire-after-bragging-about-scholarship-undocumented-status-160911116.html A Texas high school valedictorian’s tweet boasting about her impressive academic accomplishments and undocumented status landed her in the middle of an online firestorm over immigration. Mayte Lara Ibarra shot off the polarizing tweet last Friday after graduating from Crockett High School in Austin. “Valedictorian, 4.5GPA, full tuition paid for at UT, 13 cords and medals, nice legs, oh and I’m undocumented,” she wrote. The tweet included several graduation pictures and a few emojis: a medal, the Mexican flag, Hook ’em horns for the University of Texas, and a graduation cap. It swiftly went viral, receiving more than 400 retweets and nearly 20,000 likes before her account (@maytelara29) was deactivated. What was probably intended to be another innocuous graduation post proved deeply controversial — drawing censure and praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
