I agree with the speaker's opinions but I also do agree with you to a certain extent - the Principal holds the final say upon the issue so there's not much one can do about it. The press helps his case, of course, but that can't deter the Principal completely. As for whether the speech is positive, I'd say yes it is! Pro-peace and anti-violence definitely is happier to me than watching someone get their head cut off (it was a nasty video).

Yes, I heard the former President's address, and he had every right to say what he did. We're talking about a big difference here. A high school student was supposed to speak about his past year in his high school career, and a former President was hired and paid to give a speech on whatever he wanted to.

I don't even see how these two situations can be compared to each other....
