LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky high school valedictorian used a bullhorn to give his graduation speech about the power of students to change the world after a Catholic diocese said he couldn't make the speech during commencement.


With students and relatives watching, Christian Bales gave his speech outside following Holy Cross High School's graduation ceremony Friday in Covington in northern Kentucky.

Student council president Katherine Frantz also gave her speech by bullhorn after the diocese nixed it.
