At a high school graduation in Exeter, Pennsylvania the senior class President gave a speech that did not go over well with the faculty. They cut him off right in the middle of his speech. We wanted to give him a chance to finish so we tracked him down.

@thewindgamer2607 4 года назад

“In our school, the title of class president could more accurately be class party planner, and Student’s council main obligation is to paint signs every week. Despite some of the outsanding people in our school, the lack of a real student government, combined with the authoritative attitude that a few teachers, administrators and board members have, prevents students from trully developing as leaders. Hopefully, this will change. Hopefully, for the sake of future students, more people of power within our school, who do not do so already, will begin to prioritize education itself as well as the empowering of students, because at the end of the day, it is not what we have done as wyoming area students or atlethes that will define our lives, but what we will go on to do as wyoming area alumni. And i hope that every one of my classmates here today, as well as myself, will go on to do great things in this world, and achieve true happiness and success. Thank you all for coming to this great celebration today.”

@boppop8703 4 года назад

His speech was really well said! The fact that he added the “authoritative attitude” “prevents students from truly developing as leaders” felt critical. The adults at school really do make students feel that way, although it’s effective, it’s not helping my fellow classmates develop leadership skills either. Let alone leadership, but the feeling we’re put in a box. I started seeing this attitude when I got into middle school. I don’t really think about it that much but his speech made me remember that side of what’s going on in the classroom. About feeling like we’re put in a box, it honestly feels as if me and my classmates are factory workers where all we do is so work and follow directions. I typed a really long comment and deleted most of it, so sorry if it sounds weird 😅

Kira, as I have said previously, "challenge" is a better word that I should have used. Challenge the status quo. Challenge authority if they think they are above the law or are trying to circumvent the law for their own gains, especially at the cost of the weak and the poor. Everyone deserves to live with dignity and not to be preyed upon just because many were born into less fortunate circumstances. The problem is that everyone is selfish, it's human nature, and always seems to worry about their own well-being, whether they are rich, poor, powerful, young, old, etc. No one wants to work together for the better of humanity. Only when the earth is closed to being destroyed, then we might see some cooperation because it's a common threat to everyone.

I really got pissed off with this whole situation. They should’ve let him finish and then taken the criticisms.

@richhobo1216 3 года назад

Apparently they said that they would talk to Peter later to properly address his concerns but I'm betting that that never happened.

@kevindao1103 3 года назад

@@richhobo1216 It’s typical PR from a corporation or school district. Most of the time, nothing changes. Just look at other companies horror stories.

Well, On the bright side, Lets be thankful they cut him off during his speech. If they didn't, this would have never been featured in Jimmy's Show, for sure. And his graduation speech video would not have probably gone viral.

He is a very handsome young man and well-spoken. Bro keep on what you are doing and never get into the wrong crowds. Always have that positive vibe about yourself, and you would for sure finish college and have a job waiting for you!

@splaar 3 года назад

Honestly. If the school had allowed him to finish his speech, there would be a few hundred people at the ceremony, and about a thousand or so more online who heard what he had to say. Because they cut him off, the original video of his speech went viral, he got to finish his speech on national television with an audience of millions of people, and the school became a national embarrassment. I certainly hope the faculty and school board think it was worth it, that is if any of them still have jobs.

I am not even an American, never been to that side of the planet and yet I would say that USA is great by the way they fight for their freedom. sure you have problems in society and with government policies. who doesn't. and yet your are always striving to move forward and be better. and despite the world is attacking you and your values. you still try to do your best to prove to the world that you can be better. something we need to learn ...all the respect
