She could have handled it better probably. Especially if she had written letters to the school administration about problems and potential solutions WHILE she was still going to school (of course it could have caused her problems but then it wouldn't have been a public forum so they may not have reacted much). Then when there was trouble after speaking up at the graduation she could have brought out these letters explaining that she had done what she could before and was unheard. Then no one can blame her for getting herself a louder voice.
It would have been one thing if all she'd done was flame the school. From the sound of it though she was specific and exposed actual problems. In that case she had every right to speak up.
Yeah they might be legally free to withhold her diploma but they are not morally right. If they are aware of the problems and have done nothing to solve them then they are at fault. If there weren't glaring problems then there wouldn't be many complaints.
If I had attended a school with a lot of problems and administration too closed minded to face the problems I would be in full support of a student speaking up at my graduation.
It shows she cares what the school does in the future and what the future students have to face. Otherwise why speak up at your own graduation? You're done, you don't have to deal with it anymore. She's motivated to make a difference. The school should at least recognize that and respect it.
