As graduation ceremonies occur across the country, you might notice more decorated attire in Nevada. This is the first spring graduation since Nevada passed a law allowing students to decorate their grad caps and robes with religious or cultural regalia. Despite the law, earlier this month at Eldorado High School, a student was told she couldn’t wear a stole honoring her family’s heritage. Ultimately, the student was allowed to wear her stole, but this shows how the practice can be controversial. Today, we revisit a conversation with Dr. Sheila Bock, a folklorist at UNLV. She tells co-host Dayvid Figler how grad garb became so contentious and what happens when students use robes and mortarboards as a form of expression.

Fully autonomous driving is related to the core technology of electric vehicles and unmanned vehicles for future warfare. Is the CCP trying to win over Musk to use Tesla to break through, or is it setting a trap to divide the United States?
"Is Taiwan an independent country?" Taiwan has its own citizens, government, and diplomatic allies. However, due to territorial ownership issues with China, it has been difficult to participate in international activities and organizations, and it is difficult to call itself a "country" to the outside world. In any case, behind every yes or no answer, the threat from China across the Taiwan Strait will be more or less taken into consideration, affecting Taiwanese people and the future of this island.
We honor our moms on Mother’s Day, which is this Sunday. The history of that day is interesting. A few years after it was founded in 1908, the woman who started it all wanted it eliminated. Instead of a rallying cry for moms, she was angered that it had been commercialized by greeting card, flower and candy industries. Today, no one protests Mother’s Day. But as the social status of women has grown, women are still trying to attain equal status in the workplace, in wages, politics and more.
