I agree, and I think it's pretty obvious no school is "advocating" the use of profanity. That being said, I can't imagine a teacher (and I don't pretend to be 'in the know' on the policies of teachers) giving a kid detention because he says "damn" when with his friends, or he says the S-word when standing alone by his locker.

My reply was going to be the direct opposite...
If you can't imagine a teacher doing such a thing and the teachers in your schools
wouldn't do such a thing, then I'd pull out any kids you care about NOW. Earlier in the thread, someone said something about whether to flag or not when when "a player quitely says 'damn' after he drops a pass". Wow! When I was in high school, if, while the teacher was passing back tests, I got a "C" on mine I said "damn" quietly so she could hear and no one else you think she lets that go without saying anything? I certainly hope not...
Whenever you let something go, no matter how insignificant it may seem, not only are you advocating & allowing it (message to the offender), but you're also conditioning
yourself for the future to accept the action as being perfectly OK.
