YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTwin Peaks Charter Academy has announced the the school will launch an investigation into Principal BJ Buchmann’s decision to cancel Evan Young’s comingout graduation speech. The school has defended decision by saying "the Valedictorian failed to follow the guidelines established by the school. The initial draft of the student’s speech submitted for review was condescending toward the school and the student’s peers and included, among other things, ridiculing comments about faculty and students. The draft speech also included references to personal matters of a sexual nature." We go to Washington, D.C., to speak with Rep. Jared Polis (DColorado) who called for the school probe. He is the first openly gay member of Congress to become a parent.
