How many times do parents have to tell their young kids to "WATCH YOUR MOUTH"?!?! Or did the kids get their cussing from their parents? :?:

But the question is, was she cussing?

I say no. She referred to hell, the place. It wasn't an exclamation like "Hell no!" or "Hell! I just stapled my finger!" It was used in the Biblical sense of the word. It's a word that she could just as easily pick up in church. And she was defending God with its usage by telling her classmate that he shouldn't say, "I swear to God."

I agree with you there Duck! Go get 'em ACLU lol

"Damn" could also be easily picked up at Church as well.

I have teachers here that will not and repeat "Will Not" tolerate any cussing at all whether the word was picked up from Church or not, a few could get easily offended by them.

Zero tolerance -- okay. But to suspend a SECOND grader??? She's 7 years old, for Pete's sake. Reprimand her...tell her not to say that in school. Call the parents and ask them to talk with her about where to use it. But suspension? That's just too much. :roll:

If it was her third or fourth offense, maybe.

I agree with you duck! hey..is that twice today?

Posted: **Thu Feb 05, 2004 1:54 pm**

LOL! Well, I believe it's certainly twice in one week. And if you like the Magic Kingdom best, it could be three. :wink:

I believe that all people above the age of 30 not be allowed to be politically correct. lol.

This is another stupid example of zero tolerance. Do away with it!!

I am all for zero tolerance, but only when they do something wrong. Did this girl do soemthing wrong? <b>HELL</b> no (directed toward the moronic Pittsburgh school district)

When my son submitted an exhibit about WWII, he included an anti-Nazi ditty that every GI would have recognized...but since it used the word "ball" (in the context you're all familiar with), the teacher sent him to the principal, who called me...and I LAUGHED!!!!!

I asked this man what his specialty degree was, and he stated "Ph.D, History"...yet he was TOTALLY unaware of the many derogatory, "patriotic" songs served up to Rosies and GIs during that period. I learned this one, and many others, from my USAAF father, and all of us as kids would sing them in the car while on a long vacation drive.

coppertop was excused AFTER I informed the principal of the significance thereof...but this goes to the state of "what are they teaching teachers?" :eek:

PS: If you want the lyrics, E-mail me...LOLOLOL :lol:
