Texas high school silences Valedictorian's microphone during speech on Constitution, report says
Published June 08, 2013
A Texas high school silenced its Valedictorian’s microphone during his speech when he diverted from his pre-approved remarks and instead spoke about the Constitution.

Joshua High School graduate Remington Reimer, who was accepted into the Naval Academy, had his microphone silenced during his speech right after he told fellow graduates that school officials apparently threatened him with the move the day before, MyFoxDFW.com reported.
I can understand why school administrators would warn a high school student not to stray from their speech.....they might be worried that he or she would say something completely inappropriate. But to take a detour into talking about the importance of preserving the Constitution? Oh the HORROR!
