    Jaisaan Lovett graduated from University Preparatory Charter School as the first black valedictorian. The principal barred him from giving a speech because of their "numerous run-ins." So, the city's mayor broadcast his speech on YouTube. https://usat.ly/2ISW2DO pic.twitter.com/u55PdM3qQu

        If this kid can become valedictorian despite numerous "run-ins"...maybe the problem was the principal. Not the kid.

        This young man has a brain and may have challenged the principal who probably is used to complacent and malleable students. Bravo to Lovett. 👏👏👏👏👏

        According to the Washington Post, his “numerous run-ins” included things like complaining about the lack of lab safety equipment.

        This valedictorian, didn't have to have government pay for everything America. No socialist here. Jaisaan is proving if you work hard you can accomplish many goals & dreams.
