Freedom of Speech, where did it go?

High School Silences Valedictorian’s Microphone During Speech on Constitution
Posted on June 8, 2013

What on earth have we become?

Invite someone to give a speech but not allow them to say what they want. Sometimes freedom is more important.

A Texas high school silenced its Valedictorian’s microphone during his speech when he diverted from his pre-approved remarks and instead spoke about the Constitution.

Joshua High School graduate Remington Reimer, who was accepted into the Naval Academy, had his microphone silenced during his speech right after he told fellow graduates that school officials apparently threatened him with the move the day before.

Colin Radford, a fellow graduate told MyFoxDFW.com that Reimer was “talking about getting constitutional rights taken away from him, and then he said “just yesterday they threatened to turn my microphone off,” and then his microphone went off.”
