Clayton High School senior Leen Hijaz, a Muslim, was delivering the commencement speech Thursday when she ditched her pre-approved remarks, unleashing a fiery tirade blasting immigration enforcement and backing the Palestinian/Hamas cause, according to ceremony footage and district officials.
NY Post Hijaz raged: “Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak.
Before she could end her rant, high school principal Melissa Moore rushed to the stage and cut her off, pulling her by the arm away from the microphone. Hijaz then returned to her seat on the stage, smirking and waving to the crowd as she sat down.
The Muslim teen proceeded to whine on TikTok last week, accusing the school of refusing to give her a diploma after the now-viral stunt, moaning that it made her feel “oppressed.” Eventually, they did give it to her.
