Kaitlin Nootbaar, an Oklahoma high school valedictorian, is being denied her diploma … because she said the word HELL in her May graduation speech.

She graduated from Prague High School with a 4.0 GPA, but has been told she will have to submit a written apology in order to receive her diploma.

“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,’” her dad, David, recalled.

“‘Close the door, we have a problem.’”
