@cnn: 17-year-old Leen Hijaz says remarks she made at her high school graduation were cut off after she mentioned people suffering in different countries around the world. Her school district says administrators intervened so the “school-sponsored event remained consistent with its intended purpose.” #cnn, #news
What makes her think that people need to know her political views on the graduation ceremony.
