I think it depends. For example, if the students are seen as a mouth-piece of the teachers then it shouldn't be allowed. For example, if it was known that teachers must approve all speeches then her speech could be seen as being rubber stamped by the teachers/principals.
That she purposefully hid her religious additions seems interesting.
I wonder, if she had got up on stage and said "Fuck the government and all the bullshit believing christian bigots who run it" and then proceeded to burn a flag on stage before being escorted off, would groups like Focus on the Family really be concerned about her "constitutional rights"?
