I also wonder if the school didn't have to ok her speech before the ceremony. I know at our school you had to have your speech in about a week beforehand so the school could check it and approve. I don't think I can really say whether or not I feel it was appropriate without seeing / knowing about the real content of the speech. Did she point out problems with the school in a "professional" manner, or was it a big "Fuck You" to the administration. She might not feel that they do enough, and I can't speak for the teachers at that school, but I do know that a lot of the public teachers and administrators I know are over-worked and screwed by district and state legislation thumbs-up-their-asses, and it's not entirely their fault. I've also known a lot of really intelligent kids who can be real immature assholes and who have massive superiority complexes towards their teachers. It's tough to say what happened here, in my opinion.
As I said before, I think she should receive her diploma, but in order to know if I applaud her speech or look at as a sophmoric rant made in bad taste, I'd had to know more about it.
