A straight-A Oklahoma high school student, is being denied her diploma because she used the word "hell" in her graduation speech as valedictorian, and she and her parents are furious.
In delivering her address during the Prague High School graduation ceremony in May, the teen alluded to instances where people would ask her what she wanted to do with her life as graduation approached, to which she said, "How the hell do I know? I've changed my mind so many times," her father David Nootbaar told KFOR.

I would second that, except for I do believe it, these schools have gone fucking crazy. it's ridiculous to deny her her diploma for that, my gawd!
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Obviously if you're going to use magic mouth sounds you should expect to suffer the consequences.

*gasp* Using the Devil's home's name in vain during a public ceremony?!? That student is clearly a witch and should be burned at a stake instead of merely being denied a questionable reward for using her head for something other than memorizing recipes.

One of the problems with and causes of our failed educational system is that the principal has become the biggest bully in the school yard. Only the most self-motivated of students can even get an education and it must be galling to the school to see a student succeed.
Fire every clown who had anything to do with this.
