School proceeds to pull him into a secluded room, surround him, and use his right to walk at graduation and other punishments to extort a redaction of his speech from him.

He killed it! This guy deserves a medal I give him props to his speach every word he said was real. I hate the school system teachers and staff like to cover shit up and like to act dumb as if they never noticed or knew shit was going.
This is the problem. So many schools put up a facade and show to the public that their environment is “safe” and “student-friendly” when in reality so much more is happening behind the scenes. It’s pathetic, really. I’m in 10th grade now and these things have really happened to me. Yet my school decides that they don’t want to take the initiative and do something about it.
schools don’t CARE. they just wanna make sure they report to your parents so the responsibility is off of them. my entire hs admin team knew i was assaulted. they did nothing but suggest EYE, ME THE VICTIM, leave school
I graduated in 1966 and even back then the school swept everything unflattering under the table. Not doing the walk is the only thing they could come up with. He can now bring in an attorney to speak with the school board and talk about restitutions!
Stay strong young man. You have a bright future. High school is a blur. A phase. It'll pass. What you did by speaking out and taking a stand, know that it'll change lives.
I went to Mountain View HS in the same town. Even back in 2009, Heritage was famous for how bad the bullying was and how school officials didn’t care. It’s sad no progress has been made.
It's just that many people are intimidated by the system, and they don't want to fix it because they think they'll get in big trouble. I can personally say, the system doesn't intimidate me, and I'm assuming you guys aren't intimidated by it either.
I don't plan on going to my graduation. I have been to so many being in band. You basically just listen to what the school wants people to say, and nothing that actually happened in the school year. During 10th grade, a senior was injured from other students. The senior got in trouble for defending himself against them. A teacher was found to be sexually harassing the girls in his gym class. He wasn't fired for 4 years. A teacher failed every boy in their class just for existing, and gave every girl a passing grade despite not doing any work. A student had their entire backpack worth of stuff stolen. The teachers randomly searched every student's lockers. And my sister got her inhaler confiscated at some point because they thought it was drugs. I was assaulted during lunch, and reprimanded until cops sided with me as the victim. A student nearly killed someone and was just scolded. A bathroom was destroyed by a student, and was only given a 2 day suspension for it. The teachers treat you like you will amount to nothing, and only help you if you are an a or b student. Not even helping the students who are actually struggling. Why should i walk my graduation, when the school has done nothing but cause me problems and has proven to give up on anyone who needs help?
This school needs to be investigated. Oh scary can't walk at Graduation.I would expect that he received his diploma before that then. School closes there eyes to the negativity all the time. School leaders need to step up and do their jobs they are hired for or get out.
Bravo young man for speaking for those who have been ignored. The District responded with their own Bullying tactics by threats of with holding something he earned. His speech has nothing to do with his school classroom performance that earned him that Diploma.. it shows you that do not forget ADULTS MAKE THE BEST BULLIES, THEN THEY PASS IT ON... YOUNG MAN KEEP GIVING A VOICE TO THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE ONE OR WON'T BE HEARD.....
I was tortured by a female principle from my high school when she accepted me to live in her home with her husband "Athletic Director" and two kids. Rio Grande City, TX 🇺🇸 She was also a member of the Catholic church... Getting ready to tell my story.
They can’t do that. They just decided to do it to stop him because they wanted to be petty. I would’ve walked anyway. Collected the diploma and kept walking out
Heritage High School should be shut down and remain closed for NOT ending bullying and sexual assaults. The faculty just wants to turn a blind eye to the bad things that happen within their walls.
Good for him!! Those school administrators need to be fired!! They are violating his 1st Amendment. He has a right to his opinion and it sounds like he has facts. #walkout #letcharleswalk
This is deplorable.. You can tell that he is a good kid, and seeing this is sad,,,school staff need to do more, and take these matters seriously, but many times they dont.don't.. and they try to bully this kid after his speech, which is not cool at all..WHen schools and districts sweep things under the rug,,,they get a better score...for example only 18% of students at so and so high-school have experienced bullies,,,,when in reality it's 72% have... but now they come across as a better school and GET A HIGHER RATING, and become a more desired school for others to attend,,,and in a speech or literature they say 18% is too high,,and we keep working on taking it down to zero...The reality is, is that this lacks integrity, it hurts kids, and is a very SHADY PRACTICE..
As a person who attends public middle school this is very true and it is in highs school to it's sad that no actions are taken for this to be solved like schools let alot of shit slide and it's sad to see people go thru these things that school causes some kids don't have a person to talk to at all and it's worse with people touching u and talking about u and school let's it slide sadly I hope they get justice matter of fact I hope everyone gets justice
My granddaughter in Michigan is seeing the same at her public high school. She has been bullied since 6th grade. Tall, blonde hair, dark blue eyes, a very kind girl. She has been tormented for nothing.
He didn’t say anything that everyone doesn’t already know. I don’t think walking across the stage it’s going to be the highlight of his senior year. When I graduated I hated it. I don’t like calling attention to myself and I don’t like being the center of attention so walking across the stage which was actually a baseball field coming from the band up steps across the riser shaking hands was just a calamity waiting to happen for me. The speech is the highlight of his year and probably his entire high school time. He did good.
He gets in trouble for speaking up about issues at the school. See something, say something, they say. Then what? Watch as NOTHING gets done about it? During my freshman year at Mojave high in Nevada, the older kids made it absolute hell for me because I was a freshman.
My kid was having her snacks stolen out of her backpack. My other kid was being pushed and having her hair pulled in kindergarten by girls in her class whose parents worked at the school. Luckily, right after that the virus hit and they never went back. This next year they aren't giving an option for online only school for elementary.
Sorry, I wish this calloused indifference to bullying was confined to high schools. Working for lawmakers, 2 of which were bullies, one a sexual harasser, to me & some other staffers, I got the same cold-shoulder-there's-the-door response when I reported it.
Good for him students are notice they are treated so badly. These SHOULD never treating bonuses It should go to the parents... DEFUND TEACHES and UNION .
It’s all about the kids as long as they’re seen and not heard 😝 The administration should be disciplined not the young man. By banning him they’re proving his point. Does any one give the school’s statement any merit ? I definitely do not.
Something... Similar happened to my dad. Grandpa went to the school and jammed the barrel of a 32 caliber browning pistol he took of a german officer in ww2 into the principles mouth where they had a calm respectful discussion of whether my dad would be allowed to walk his 8th grade graduation. Dad walked, the principle quit.
Let me guess, school board was all over 70 years old or they were Karen’s and their kids were the bullies. I understand a kid has to learn to stand up for themselves, but these schools need to teach kids that. Instead they teach them that they are invalid.
What do you mean by stand up for themselves? It's their job to make their establishment safe otherwise they're being neglectful and students shouldn't go there.
Ha I've seen this school he hit some of the points but this school has way more issues then what he even got in trouble for saying, then again that whole district is garbage and all the schools have major issues this one being one of the worst
parents and students need to understand that school administrators have the right and duty to dictate action to what is deemed as unacceptable, even if the student is right. but i gotta say, if the school is guilty of all the things that this student professes, does he really want to walk at graduation? if he really is serious, he should just pick up his diploma at the front office and wash his hands of the whole institution
Even if it was an inaccurate statement (which I highly doubt it was), he didn't threaten anyone. That was his opinion, and they shouldn't take away his walking at the school because of that.
How do you get inaccuracies when you state "your own view of the facts?" I believe the school boards accounting of the facts were different. It is not unheard of to have organizations minimalizing events to cover their own asses.
I would be walking into the conference room with over 100 pieces of evidence that could be used in a court of law against the school. Then they would shut up.
Discipline? For what?
There was no profanity in the speech. He just stated his opinion, in a speech he was authorized to give. He did not violate any school board policy.

He blew the whistle on them for allowing bullying. So the school administration bullied him.

They really said "if the student doesn't like our solutions, we'll just punish them instead."
They didn’t like hearing the truth about the school they ineffectively run. They make empty threats of “discipline” yet that person has now graduated.

i wish i had stood up when we were restricted on subject choices and asked the deputy head who he thought the school was for.
Why are they interviewing him at a rough house?

They can’t do that. They just decided to do it to stop him because they wanted to be petty. I would’ve walked anyway. Collected the diploma and kept walking out
Resolution? What does he need to resolve? The school administrators are literally bullying this kid!
I was a victim of bullying in my school and he said exactly what happened. They take the side of the bullies instead of the victims.
Freedom of speech, but only if you agree with us and be a good little student -Schools
In spite of their public posturing, school officials almost never take action.

So true 40 years ago as well. I would love to meet my bully today
You are one sick puppy. I have learned there will always be people who either were born to be jerks or learned it from someone else.

By banning him they’re proving his point. Does any one give the school’s statement any merit ?
I definitely do not.
I hope he gets a lawyer. The school board is making a big mistake as usual.
Hope a lawsuit is still possible. First amendment right to express any opinion even if it "hurts feelings."
My school if your family didn't have money you were definitely invisible preps got to get away with everything

Start them young and maybe they will keep their mouths shut for good, huh?
When that type of bullying happens at school, going live on Twitter, Facebook and TH-cam is a wonderful tool.
“Restorative resolution” or punishment. 🤔
Doesn't matter if he got blocked from walking. He still graduated.
my school allowed a student to walk free after assaulting girls bc his parents donate so much money to the school
Resolution or disciplinary action sounds like a threat….
Praise to this guy!
When a student does more than a whole school of staff
Good work young man
Hmmm sounds like he was SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
The "resolution" was to be silenced. Gkad he didny go for it.

now the whole world knows about it :) I hope they get investigated
