(Sorry if this was already posted. I see that it's yesterday's news, but I didn't see a thread for it.)
God dammit, Ohio. Just....GOD DAMMIT.
Kaitlin Nootbaar graduated her Oklahoma high school as valedictorian, and shes gearing up to start college on a full scholarship. Yet she still doesnt have her high school diploma.
What the hell?
During her graduation speech at Prague High School in May, Kaitlin dropped an innocuous H-bomb, and the school wants her to apologize, KFOR-TV reported.
Her quote was, when she first started school she wanted to be a nurse, then a veterinarian and now that she was getting closer to graduation people would ask her what do you want to do? Kaitlins father David explained. And she said, How the hell do I know? Ive changed my mind so many times.
Kaitlin borrowed the joke from the Twilight movie Eclipse. Her dad said she wrote heck in her speech, but said hell to laughter and applause from her graduating classmates.
But when Nootbaar and his daughter went to the school this week to pick up her certificate, he told KFOR, the principal said Your diploma is right here but youre not getting it. Close the door, we have a problem.
The problem was the word hell, and the principal demanded an apology letter before he would hand over Kaitlins diploma.
Kaitlin believes she did nothing wrong and doesnt plan to apologize.
She earned that diploma, her dad fumed. She completed all the state curriculum. In four years she has never made a B. She got straight As and had a 4.0 the whole way through.
Prague High School declined to comment, telling the Daily News the issue was confidential and no one was allowed to address it.
