So parents of middle school kids are steaming mad that their children were given a list of explicit words. The school was trying to be proactive and make sure students were educated on words that are NEVER to be used at school. For this lesson, they presented each student with a complete list of profanity, carefully reviewed the list and then sent them on their merry way – to ask their parents, “What’s a blow job?”

Now, with this kind of book learning why is everyone up in arms that our students won’t be ready to compete in tomorrow’s job market. Come on! With this training, they’ll surely be able to navigate the professional world with such well quipped phrases as, “are you f*cking kidding me?” and “he wouldn’t know foreign policy if it bit him on the ass.”

This story reminded me of Kelsey’s first profanity lesson. Three years old and wise to the world, she approached Wes and said, “Dad, we don’t say God damn.”

Wes: “No, Kels, we don’t say God damn.”

Kelsey: “We just say fuck. Huh?”
