Texas day care center bans 3-year-old girl over curse word

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.

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. :)

Yep them people will bring out the worst in any one, but even they can not make me use God with dam, but that is not really any credit to me, its just the way it is.

*********************************

I agree with the mother, although I do think that someone at the day care center should have had a meeting with her to discuss the issue. The little girl looks clean and well-cared for, too.

That being said, the owner of the day care center has the right to do as she/he believes in correct.

Instead of "s--t" say "poo", as in "bull poo", "poo head" and this "poo is cold"

Obviously you side with the mom’s side of the story and condemn the day care center without considering their statement.


I can see both sides of the story, but can,t a mom just hire a baby sitter any more or has this land of the free outlawed that too along with the lemonade stands?.

BTW, my grandmother was Irish and let me tell you that woman could make a sailor blush. I couldn’t choose the clan I was born into but I did make the right choices for me. Let me assure you, despite grandma’s colourful vocabulary, no one ever took GOD’s name in vain.

I'm from an Irish family as well. I'll admit to a rather colorful vocabulary. It's real bad when others aren't around and I'm being frustrated at my work....or watching a sports event alone.

There are lines I don't cross. God doesn't have a last name. Grandma's ghost would haunt me for that one and get God to strike me with a lightning bolt. There's two four letter words I don't use. One begins with c and the other t. If word got out that I used that, my mom would drive out to my place and slap the side of the 30 something head over the ear asking "What the hell is the matter with you."

Bull sh..t seems to be my favorite word, just a habit that is hard to break.

It's such a great word. I deal with it all the time with work and there's no word that describes "nonsense" to the same level. "Lies" is arguably a stronger word that can, but some really believe what they are telling me.

What’s Jesus’ advice on this? Let all your words be yea or nay and nothing more.

Not all these kids learn these words at home.

Very true. Plenty of kids will learn these words from my kids.
