A young man, Daverius Peters, on Wednesday, May 19, was blocked from gaining access into his school’s graduation ceremony.

Despite the fact that the boy was wearing the expected purple cap and gown, a school official at the door told him he has the wrong shoe on, The Washington Post reports.

A 38-year-old teacher, Butler, saved the teen the embarrassment of missing his graduation as he gave him his own shoe.

In reaction, Peters said that he wore the sneakers because they have the required black colour the dress rule allows.

Peters' parents praised the act of Mr Butler, saying there need to be more teachers like him.
