the little foul mouth brat needs to just write the apology and move on with her life.
This is about a government official trying to exercise an authority they do not possess.
She had technically (and legally) already graduated from the school prior to the beginning of the ceremony (the graduation ceremony is just a show with no legal significance whatsoever; if you don’t attend the graduation ceremony you are just as legally graduated as if you did). The school’s authority to control her actions and punish her ended the moment she graduated.
So I suppose YOU thought that Billy Sunday was “Foul-Mouthed” to when he said “Hell”.
At the very least, the school should not be requiring one of its graduates to READ a "canned" speech -- when they should be preparing their students for extemporaneous speaking.
This story is all about micromanagement and control by a petty PC tyrant who should have the "heck" kicked out of him.
The School & its administration need a lesson in the meaning of the First Amendment & that extortion is not a nice thing to do also the class Valedictorian does not come across as a foul mouthed brat the school administration appear to be vindictive fascist f*cks.
Oh for the love of Pete. Foul mouthed? For saying hell?
Jeez.
I’d guess the “foul-mouthed brat” is a hell of lot smarter than you.....
