We also have no evidence to the contrary.
So we have a diligent, dedicated kid saying (and really putting herself out there!) that she didn’t get a fair shake from the counselor. We know she’s not just trashing everyone, and we know she’s not an entitled brat, because she starts the speech thanking a big group of teachers and staff, by name.
We also have the crowd of students cheering her for calling it out. That’s another bit of evidence in favor of the speaker.
I have a great deal of empathy for anyone who loses a child. If it was getting in the way of doing the job, the counselor needed to get help from the school and/or district, not let it ripple out in a wave of damage to the students at the school and their families.
