Valedictorian Brittany McComb tried her luck at freedom of (graduation) speech outburst last week when she deviated from the school-edited version and began proclaiming her love for God, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports. Officials quickly pulled her mic, sparking loud jeers from the audience of 400.
