Teacher gets back at principal for having to give a speech to the student body, ends up giving a 90-minute diatribe: 'You wanted me to do the speech, deal with it'

Sometimes, the most rebellious folks in a school are the teachers. Here, we have one teacher who managed to successfully avoid a school tradition for over 30 years at the institution. That silly tradition involved a member of the faculty delivering a speech to the entire student body on significant historical dates. During said speech, the students were also forced to stand still in formation and in silence throughout the duration of the oration. 

This one teacher, whom the Redditor nicknamed Mech, always got away with not having to deliver the speech. In fact, he was known for always getting out of this obligation, but unfortunately for him, his time was up. Thankfully, Mech would not go down without a fight and even had a sense of humor about the whole ordeal. His speech ended up being a 90-minute diatribe that the entire student body had to stand for without making a single movement. After all, it was tradition, wasn't it?
