A Supreme Court justice. An Olympic gold medalist. And a disc jockey whose on-air jokes about oral sex created a marketing stir at a Washington radio station. Those are among the personalities who will be sharing sage wisdom to graduating classes in Fairfax County high schools this month.
This year's speaker list includes heavy hitters such as U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at Langley High School, Olympic gold winning swimmer Ed Moses at Lake Braddock Secondary School and popular radio host Elliot Segal at J.E.B. Stuart High School.
"One of our students lives a few houses down from Elliot ["in the morning" Segal]," she said. The radio host of D.C. 101 -- whose off-color sex jokes have garnered him a $55,000 fine from the FCC and a suspension in December 2008 -- agreed to give a school-appropriate speech at Stuart High School's graduation, which will take place Monday. The host is a perfect fit, Fredericks said.
"One thing I can say about this class is they have a really big personality ... He's got a great personality and we knew he'd be entertaining," she said. Read the rest of the article here.
Elliot will give his speech on Monday, June 21st at 2:30pm at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax.
