Valedictorian says her microphone was cut after she mentioned Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice

"My valedictorian speech was cut short because i said the names of black children who had become victims of police brutality," Haghar captioned the video."Our principal signaled for my mic to be turned off as soon as i said 'trayvon martin and tamir rice' and played it off as a technical difficulty. pathetic.

Martin, 17, was fatally shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, in February 2012 in Sanford, Florida.outside the Cudell Recreation Center in Cleveland, after officer Timothy Loehmann and his partner received a 911 call about someone pointing a gun at people. According to Haghar, she showed a copy of her speech to Asmerom before the graduation and he told her to remove Martin's and Rice's names because it was too political. The graduating senior told KXAS that even though she was told not to mention their names, she never expected for her microphone to be muted during her speech.

"I never expected them to not allow me to finish, because at the end of the day, schools want to raise socially conscious students, students who are able to think for themselves. That's what I was doing," she said.

Good

The school shouldn't have cut her off. Let her continue making a fool of herself. Trayvon wasn't a victim, he was the aggressor.

Saturday Night Live did it to Frank Zappa You're in good company :)

Graduation speeches are not the appropriate setting for political pandering! If so,would everyone be OK with a pro-Trump or Pro- life speech

Sorry young lady, but you showed it to the principal, you were asked to remove certain things, and you went ahead with it anyway. That’s on you!

Wow really so sad for the school administration to be so insensitive

Just another criminal simpathiser! Bet she knows nothing about the TRUTH in either case. GenXer, Dundee than a rock!

Such a courageous and conscientious young lady.

Sad

I stopped reading at “Dallas”

What a shame

For crying out loud, she earned the right to speak.

Who is Trayin Wortin and Tammy Rice?

It's not the place for that

What happened to free speach? Will that be the nextbthing Trump will take from us?

This happened in Texas, what s surprise!

So it’s a free speech issue to silence liberals, but not to silence conservatives?

And once again, FUUUUUCK TEXASS!

Good little gooky kid !

Good for the person that shut her off. Graduation is not the place to show everyone that you are actually stupid regardless of your GPA.

Yehosor That's because she mentioned Masonic business that they're trying to keep secret!

awwww

Good

Good for you!

Not the place.

Another 'Fake' outrage story. She was told not to mention the names when her speech was approved before the event. She decided to ignore what the Principal told her and got what she deserved. NBC news is the enemy of the American people. Propaganda at its finest.

When did George Zimmerman become a cop? Trayvon decided to get into with a civilian who turned out to be armed. You would think a valedictorian would know that.

You are valedictorian but you do not realize that graduation is not the place to bring up your issues. Graduation is for everyone who sacrificed for the achievement of that goal. Glad to hear your microphone was cut off.

Censorship from the top. Sad days in America when our Constitution means nothing.

Poor thing

PERHAPS HER SCHOOL PRINCIPALS MICROPHONE SHOULD BE MUTED?

Shameful act & lots many unreported.

Good

Let the twitter SJW outrage begin!

She is a smart, sensetive and brave student. I am sure she will be very successful in her career. Congratulations!

'Well Clarice... have the lambs stopped screaming?'

FakeNews about another fake incident of Oppression, looks like there will be loads of competition in this year's OppressionOlympics

Trayvon Martin was not shot by police

Good.

As long as she’s not making hate speech, no reason to cut the mic. It’s in the constitution

High school? Cut her off, no problem. Get her used to the real world.

Maybe the people who didn't want to hear her say those names should use that discomfort as a reference point for empathizing with people who don't want to be murdered.

And that's all i got to say about that

Good.
