A Teen Told His Graduating Class Jesus Is ‘Your Answer.’ Now He’s Facing Consequences (VIDEO)

A Northern Kentucky high school student’s graduation speech sparked debate over the weekend after he urged his classmates to seek Jesus Christ as “your answer” for “the way, the truth and life.”

He didn’t receive his diploma and was asked to meet with his school principal because he added the religious message to his pre-approved speech, according to videos he posted on TikTok.

Micah Price said online, “I was told beforehand I wasn’t allowed to bring up Christ. … I did anyways.”

He graduated May 24 from Campbell County High School in Alexandria, about 30 minutes south of Cincinnati. The high school, which has about 1,500 students, draws from a predominantly suburban and rural part of the county.

Price said in his speech: “Class, before another word is to leave my mouth I must give the honor, the praise, and the glory to my lord and savior Jesus Christ, who in his very words tells us he is the light, he is the way, the truth and life. Class, anyone in the audience today, I’m here to tell you that if you don’t have any of those things in your life and can’t seem to find the answer, then my lord and savior is your answer.”

@countrysizzle This young man, Micah, delivered a wonderful speech Friday night at CCHS graduation ceremony. So much so that you could hear people discussing it as we left the event center. Following the ceremony, the school system decided to hold his diploma but has now agreed to a private meeting and return it. Here is a video of the speech (he truly is an amazing speaker) He has dedicated his future endeavors to protecting our country by joining the Air Force! Let’s stand up for him! #2024 #CCHS #SeniorYear #STANDUPFORMICAH #SUPPORTMICAHPRICE ♬ original sound – Christi Wagner
