She was the valedictorian of her high school class and said this in her speech...
“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 and she said how the hell do I know? I’ve changed my mind so many times.’”
He said in the written script she gave to the school she wrote “heck,” but in the moment she said “hell” instead.
Nootbaar said the audience laughed, she finished her speech to warm applause and didn’t know there was a problem.
That was until she went to pick up the real certificate this week.
“We went to the office and asked for the diploma and the principal said, ‘Your diploma is right here but you’re not getting it. Close the door; we have a problem,’” Nootbaar said.
He said the principal told Kaitlin she would have to write an apology letter before he would release the diploma.
A move her dad believes is illegal.
I guess she should of said "h" "e" double hockey sticks instead? At least she's still going to college on a full scholarship.
More like standard Oklahoma religious extremists...
I just heard an interview with the student...She said that if they thought "hell" was a sin, then her writing a fake apology that she doesn't mean would be a lie, and that would be a "second sin", and she didn't to rack up two in one week...
Hmmmm.... I don't think the word "sin" qualifies as a "P.C." reason....
For me the issue is about "honor." What's that? Yeah, not much around any more. She agreed not to use foul language, at least to some people it's foul, and then reneged on her agreement.
Lack of ethics. But then, that's not taught anymore, is it?
