It's problematic no matter what generation they're a part of. In the individual classrooms, agreed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rehabilitated Rick 1,916 Posted October 5, 2019 In a perfect world that would work, but we don't live in a society where teachers hold absolute authority over it's students anymore. The word is woven into the fabric of the culture. If you're going to censor one word, then you have to censor all implications of the word. Seems problematic to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Censoring the word breeds a plethora of problems, do we ban music containing the word from school premises too? That would require banning phones I guess? That would require a tremendous amount of policing to accomplish. The idea of ruling schools with an iron fist might be viable to you, I say good luck with that.

Rehabilitated Rick 1,916 Posted October 6, 2019 I wish it was that simple but it's not. The problem is a systemic one. The public schooling system is eroding and vastly underfunded. Families are being destroyed. I will never blame an individual for a systemic issue. Compound this with a culture that is beyond toxic, it's a recipe for disaster at every level of society.

That's not what school is for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
