Can a valedictorian say whatever she wants?
Graduation for one Nebraska senior wasn't the exhilarating time it should have been. After her class chose her to be one of the commencement speakers, the student was required to show her speech to the school for editorial approval. In her speech, she used a word the school considered offensive, even though it would be entirely appropriate for prime-time television and was not obscene. School officials told her she not only couldn't use the word, but also threatened to withhold her diploma if she went ahead with the speech as planned. After ACLU intervention, she was allowed to give the speech using her own choice of words.
