Thats absurd, some of that is criminal. If they do those things they are arrested for assault on the principal, or for indecent exposure. Nothing remotely like that happened here. And yes, i would rather have the extremely rare incident of some kid saying hell, than your control freak version of “conservatism”

Do you really think the founders wanted a society so structured that a graduation speech must be submitted and approved by the government? That idea is offensive and is much more at home on the left. Conservatism isn’t supposed to be statism, with us holding the wheel as the only difference.

And let me clue you in, those things you are getting a case of the fainting vapors over could still happen anyway, valdictorian or not. Any kid could run up on stage and do all of those disruptive things you listed. Having the government carefully monitor and approve her speech protects you from nothing. But it does make you more statist. Stalin, Islam, and British headmasters would be really proud of you.

sure, anyone can come onto the stage and do anything they wish.

But they will then reap the consequences.

That is how civilization works.

You and everyone else is free to do whatever you wish, but then you have to pay the consequences.

In this case, the consequence is an apology or no diploma.
