Please...you can turn on the TV and hear "Sh*t" on any number of prime time dramas. "A**hole" was on ER the other night. I'm not encouraging them to swear, but I'm not going to melt either if a kid says "Sh*t" when he drops a pop up that costs his team the game.
I guess your attitude reflects the difference between the values in our respective areas. In Texas we don't say "sh!t" in church. Or in the classroom. Some of the movies or TV shows depict language that would merit expulsion in my part of the country.

I'm afraid it's officials -- and teachers, and principals, and parents -- who are partners in the lowering of civility in other parts of the U.S.

BTW: I think you meant there was a "hoe" on ER. Unless the "hole" was in someone's chest.
