You're right, he was invited. But he should have had the common sense to make a speech that could be appreciated by most if not all his audience, e.g. parents, students and teachers.
He did not.
Instead he chose to make a political speech to a captive audience.

So should the first amendment not protect political speech? Should a citizien of a country not be critical of his country, and not be concerned about the direction it's going? [/B]

Non-sequiter. This was not a forum for him to make whatever statement he felt like making. You're again confusing the right to question with the right to do it wherever and whenever you want.
