World’s greatest valedictorian goes in on teachers so hard they cut his mic
More often than not, high school graduation speeches are meandering and upbeat musings, à la Oh, The Places You’ll Go! given by an idealistic teenager whose spirit has yet to be broken. But not Peter Butera. Pennsylvania’s The Citizen’s Voice reported that the 18-year-old’s microphone was turned off in the middle of his speech criticizing the school’s “authoritative” administration. A video of the speech ended up on Reddit, inspiring rebellious high school students everywhere.
