Well, I knew a girl who was the valedictorian of her high school and wasn't allowed to give a speech because she was pregnant.
Talk about a breach of civil rights.
In this girls case, good for her. It might not have been the BEST avenue, but if the speech were at least respectful in tone, then kudos to her on being able to stand up when she finally had the attention it sometimes takes to make a difference.
