12:25Now PlayingRooha Hagar, this years class valedictorian at Emmitt J. Conrad High School in Dallas had her mic cut when she mentioned the names of Trayvon Martin and Tamir Rice.
Hagar tweeted: "My valedictorian speech was cut short because I said the names of black children who had become victims of police brutality. Our principal signaled for my mic to be turned off as soon as I said "Trayvon Martin and Tamir Rice" and played it off as a technical difficulty. Pathetic."
