That's creepy!
What's with graduation speeches bringing up politics and religion? Are those topics really necessary in a HIGH SCHOOL graduation ceremony? It also shows a lack of creativity. "Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins". No it doesn't break the law, but it just makes for one REALLY crappy graduation speech...
