Late night host encourages recent grad (whose rebellious speech was cut short by faculty) to "keep being a pain in the ass"

Jimmy Kimmel provided a platform for a recently silenced high school valedictorian to speak his truth on Tuesday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! – and gave the young graduate a few words of advice.

"Here's a young man who could use a press secretary," Kimmel introduced the footage. "This is from a high school graduation in Exter, Pennsylvania, where the senior class president gave a speech that did not go over well with the faculty."

In the short clip, high school student Peter Butera stands before his family, friends and faculty onstage and seems to criticize some of the school's less-than-stellar policies.
