Queer News Tonight previously reported on Zander Moricz of Pine View School in Osprey, Florida. As president of his class, he was expected to make a speech at his high school graduation. The school told him he could not reference his being gay, so he instead spoke about his "curly hair". Recently, he got to deliver his original speech in front of the US Department of Education. On Friday, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona tweeted, “Zander Moricz wasn’t allowed to deliver the original valedictorian speech he wrote for his Florida high school graduation because it included references to his LGBTQI+ activism. So, I invited him to deliver it at the U.S. Dept. of Education. When students speak, we must listen.”
