This was a public magnet HS, right? So they have a ton of state laws to follow regarding who gets a diploma, etc. I'd bet money that "talking nice in a valedictory speech" isn't in the rulebook for graduation requirements.
This is especially stupid considering that this is a school for prospective pre-law students. The HS admin just put themselves in the crosshairs of a lawsuit. Way to go, morons!
