“Imagine the nerve … a high-school valedictorian, on his way to Princeton next year, daring to speak about a topic he obviously has given much thought to – the American education system….
… the unapproved speech that Mainland Regional High School valedictorian Kareem Elnahal tried to deliver before he was hustled off the stage by Principal Robert Blake was rather thoughtful and quite interesting….
… Mainland officials simply proved Elnahal’s point by not letting him give this speech.” Full story at the Press of Atlantic City.
Congratulations, Mr. Principal! You thought you can surpress free speech in 21st century America? The story got digged, it’s on reddit and is making the rounds in the blogosphere. – not that you understand any of these.
But perhaps you understand now the power of the public – your act of supression elevated Kareem’s speech to a level of recognition that he could not have dreemed of, had he been allowed to deliever it.
