Paxton, I admire your courage and strongly support you in this phenomenal speech.

So...liberals, do other valedictorians have the right to also go off script and provide a speech say banning abortion, or that abortion is morally wrong, or some other issue, or even promote a product like Amway and Nord VPN?

ironically,

this happened,

liberals have claimed that a valedictorian of a PUBLIC school promoting jesus is a violation of church and state, but that Paxton promoting abortion rights is to be celebrated.


If another valedictorian asked the audience to buy Amway products, or Nord VPN, or expressed view that there was election fraud and Biden shouldn't have won, or that the government is covering up UFOs, is that acceptable?

do you think it's fair for the students and families who are forced to attend to have to listen to this?

liberals are calling this a free speech issue, while suppressing religious speech also delivered by valedictorians as "church state separation"

so every valedictorian can deliver any speech they want on any topic they want under free speech.

and why only valedictorians? why can't any student offer a speech?

Valedictorian's speech blasts Texas abortion law

at 3:50 minutes in, the interviewer asks Paxton if students should be free to say whatever they want at events like these, and then she hems and haws about how it's hard to say and claims she doesn't know enough to comment.

if she has the right to talk about abortion, then every valedictorian has a right, and some valedictorians might be against abortion, or talk about some other topic entirely like how global warming is a hoax, or no how george soros funds democratic interests.
