MY HS Principle Plagiarizes!!!

[DanaC]

There is absolutely NO REASON to plagiarize a Valedictorian speech which is only for the AUDIENCE not about a grade, getting into a school, or earning an award.

Surely that's what mitigates it. In your shoes, I'd be a damn sight more annoyed had he plagiarised in order to get better grades and get onto college courses that other students had worked hard to gain.

Without wanting to put words into Fresh's mouth I think his point is that plagiarism is such a big issue in the environment that this Principal teaches, how could he possibly risk the accusation for something that otherwise wouldn't even be heard outside of the school. It shows he didn't have the scholastic ideal at heart.
