I know one who refused to give the speech. So there was no speech.
School was upset, but the young lady stated she would not give a speech written by someone else and pretend it was her own.
The officials only added a line and it was a line supportive of volunteering in the community. It did fit into the speech, as my son was advocating giving back to your country, so my son kept their line in. If the officials had done what these guys did, my son wouldn’t have given their speech either.
Or she could have simply punctuated every sentence with "I can't even pretend these are my sentiments"..."it says right here in the speech that was written for me"..."or so I've been ordered to say"..."not my words, but"..."unlike what I wanted to say"..."You can ask me later what the truth is"..."The principal censored what I thought here"..."not at all what I believe"...
