"PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A recent graduate from The Philadelphia High School for Girls is calling for change after she was denied her high school diploma on stage.
"She (the principal) stole that moment from me," said Hafsah Abdur-Rahman. "I will never get that again."
Abdur-Rahman cried tears of humiliation instead of joy at her high school graduation on June 9.
The 17-year-old from Philadelphia's Olney section said the principal warned students their families could not cheer or clap when they walked on stage.
"I understood the rules because I was saying 'shh' in the video. Do not say nothing because I want my diploma," said Abdur-Rahman. "I knew and understood what we were supposed to do.""
