A Texas mom thinks it's bull that her 3-year-old girl was expelled from the Jubilee Child Development Center in San Antonio for saying "sh-t," WOAI reported.
"I don't condone her saying i,t but for that to be a faith-based day care, I would think that they would reinforce and let her know that's not a word to say," Cassandra Wright told the local station.
Wright said she doesn't use that word at home and isn't quite sure how little Arianna heard it in the first place. She even doubts whether she knows what it means.
"I asked her what word did you say and she told me 'animal,'" she said.
But Alissa Blankenship, the day care center's director, says the school has a zero tolerance policy for profanity because it spreads easily. She doesn't think this was an isolated incident anyway. She told the NBC affiliate that Arianna laughed after saying the word and worried she might say it again.
The center reserves the right to dismiss any child that is not in its best interest, she added.
"Well as a private center and also a parent myself you know there's decisions and choices that have to make," she explained.
Arianna is not the first child the center banned for cursing.
Bull sh..t seems to be my favorite word, just a habit that is hard to break.
I do not like vulgar talk because most of it is done purposely by some one wanting to show every one how tough or mean they are, to hide the truth that they are nothing but lily flowers.
However there are many people who would not say sh..t if they had a mouth full, they would just spit it out and point at it.
Both extremes are the sh..ts.
Before anyone jumps me about the vulgarity, let me assure this was back in the time when men were men, women were women, and kids could tell the difference.
Amen to that

That's so true, it could have been on the TV, radio or Joe Biden.
What a bunch of bulls%*-
Mine repeated two f-bombs at age 3. Heard it on the public playground from older children when he was there at the tot lot with a supervised group from nursery school.
You know what I have zero tolerance for? This zero tolerance carp we subject our children to. We take children in school who are supposed to be cared for, nurtured and taught not only book knowledge but how the world works and they make a mistake and it's zero tolerance! Alpha Mike Foxtrot! Then they look at adult politician's and wonder WTF, why are the rules different.
Obviously you side with the mom’s side of the story and condemn the day care center without considering their statement.
LOL!! We went through that in our house! It was reallly funny when it was a dump truck, and he would yell it out the front window in earshot of the busy sidewalk....
There's just so much more of it around these days.
“Bull sh..t seems to be my favorite word, just a habit that is hard to break.”
If you really want see vulgarity used at its best. Read the comments on the blogs and you’ll see that liberals never debate an issue with conservatives. They can’t defend their positions so they must use vulgarity to avoid the truth.
Liberals are the most vulgar people in our society. Yet if a conservative calls a member of this administration, congress, or supreme court a POS or a crazy SOB, the liberals are ever so deeply offended. Why, it’s even racist.
So, I don’t usually use profanity, but when I do... I am referring to liberals and liberalism and the frustration I feel. Lately I’ve been cursing a lot.
Yes, it’ becoming a habit I find very hard to break. :)
I have to wonder how children today will learn to cope with actually going to school and see that Johnny has to sit to pee...
“...only the ones who hear the words at home.”
It might depend, to a certain extent, on the age of the child, but when you grow up in the big city as I did you hear plenty of words on the street that you’ll never hear at home.
Still, it seems silly to me to eject a child from a school for one verbal infraction. She’s an imperfect person, like the rest of us. Person in training, you could even say.
It is NOT obvious I side with the mother, but that in my opinion bullshit is not as bad a phrase or word as some others may be and that a three year old will frequently repeat what is heard at home and not have a clue what it means or comprehend the impact it has on other people ... in a word ... the child is innocent.
But if you REALLY want to pick on me, let's set some parameters;
ALL outside influence is to be forbidden and NO child should be in ANY school and you should stay home with your own child and teach her yourself because you just can't trust others to be you.
“Oh8eleven’s got everything figured out. He’s even found the rope and tree to carry out the execution with.”
Maybe, the govt is right about “haters”.
Saw this on the local SA news last night. The child didn’t just say the word, she climbed up on a table to proclaim the word, and then some other children followed suit by repeating the word.
Could’ve been worse. Could’ve been “mofo”.
LOL. I had the same experience, listening to my 4 year old twins argue with each other in the car about the "S" word...
Twin 1: You don't even know what the S-word is!
Twin 2: Yes I do!
Twin 1: Then what is it?
Twin 2:I'm not gonna say it...it's BAD!
Twin 1:I bet you don't even know it
Twin 2: Yes I do! But it's really really BAD!
Twin 1: OK, if you know it...then what is it?
Twin 2 leans in close and whispers....."Stuuuuupid"
When we arrived to pick up our daughter, Grandpa rather sheepishly said, "Your daughter learned a new word....
It took us a few days to get her to stop saying "dumbshit"
