Florida high school senior Zander Moricz was called into his principal’s office last week.
Moricz, 18, was the first openly LGBTQ student to hold the title at Pine View High School in Osprey, Florida.
He said he was told if his graduation speech referenced his activism, officials would cut off his microphone and halt the ceremony.
Principal Stephen Covert did not reply to NBC News’ questions about his alleged warning, but said he and other school officials “champion the uniqueness of every single student on their personal and educational journey” Critics have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law, which was signed into law in late March.
