Not happy about a teenagers speech during highschool ceremony, Now it's national news. Congratulation dumbass. Genuine congratulation to the young woman, for speaking out.
- Excuse me, Ms Streisand. Could I get your attention?
"I'm a little angry, maybe, at the unfortunate situation, especially since I had connected the situation to the values of the school board and what I had learned throughout my four years of being at the school," she said.
"I was applying that to being an advocate and making sure that those who are oppressed have a voice in our society."
It'd be great if the OCDSB school board could act with the same integrity that they're trying to instill in their students.
- Especially with a name like OCD School Board. You'd think they'd pay attention to the details...
Show up and make them arrest you. Massage sure you have the Canadian version of standing.
