'I just had to be clever about it—but I shouldn't have had to be,' zandermoricz says of using his curly hair to take aim at Florida's Don't Say Gay law in his graduation speech.
to local media from Sarasota County Schools made clear that if the graduating senior used the event as"a platform for personal political statements, especially those likely to disrupt the ceremony," then"it may be necessary to take appropriate action."
"It's because of the love I've drawn from this community that I came out to my family. Now I'm happy… And that is what is at stake. There are going to be so many kids with curly hair who need a community like Pine View and they won't have one," warned the Harvard-bound student, urging those in the audience to use their power as voters.
As for using his curly hair as a placeholder, Moricz said that"it was a really dehumanizing decision because I had to take something I had written and was really proud of that just discussed my identity and my human rights and I had to find a way to be clever to discuss who I was."
