High School Valedictorian denied diploma because of graduation speech.

She said "Hell"? Seriously? What the ****? "Hell" really isn't a bad word, is it?

 

yet there are people out there who want the bible taught in school, doesn't that word pop up quite a bit there?

 

Or maybe the Principal should stop being a big baby and give her the diploma already.

 

??? Article says Oklahoma

But yeah, that is stupid. I wouldn't apologize either, and I'd sue.

 

That's what she gets for using a quote out of Twilight.

In all seriousness though, this is incredibly dumb.

 

Surely that's not legal.

 

I'm really not shocked by anything anymore. People are dumb and the world is in the toilet. There ya go.

 

The people in charge at the school should get off their high horse & just give him his/her diploma.

 

I know right? I mean even pre-schoolers say hell in the playgrounds.

 

attorneys are being consulted and papers are being filed at this moment, no doubt...

in the end, the ***** principal and school will cave...

absolutely no doubt...

 

Religion at it's finest!

 

This is one instance where I feel the lawsuit would not be frivolous. That's an unlawful act I'm sure. They can't win that unless they're like some Dukes of Hazzard county where Boss Hogg runs the court.

 

This. She'll have her diploma soon.

 

Though she only verbally dropped an "h-bomb", someone should literally drop a real H-Bomb on that principle. Eradicate that dinosaur.

 

Hella not cool.

 

principle's lucky her dad didn't drop a few f bombs on his ass.

 

Looks like all hell broke loose.

 

I'm so sick and tired of people being offended by words. It's just a word, does it really make your ears bleed and ache??!

 

Omgosh, just say you're freaking sorry and get your diploma. But I guess you want the national news attention, talk show appearances, and maybe that book deal you've always dreamed of.

 

People are so uptight. It's not like she dropped the c-word.

 

Public school officials in the US are probably among the more incompetent, especially the administration. They waste tons of time trying to worry about things like this that don't matter because they are afraid of fraying from the rules because they have such a limited government budget and are afraid of lawsuits from someone being offended by language like that. It's truly pathetic.

 

we need some mistah clark action up in here.

 

*rereads article*

Ehh? The principal seems to be the type of person with delicate sensibilities who hates profanity, but I've encountered people like that whose opinion had nothing to do with religion. A couple of English teachers come to mind, in fact.

 

This just about tops the story about the kid who was suspended when he went to a prom at another school because they had dancing and rock music.
