Kids Told to Shout Obscenities in 'Swearing Lesson'
Fox News ^ | April 04, 2009 | The Sun

A British school was blasted Friday after kids as young as 11 were told to shout obscenities during a lesson in swearing.

Expletives like the f-word and c-word were written on a blackboard before a teacher explained their meaning to 30 seventh graders.

S.t Laurence School in Bradford on Avon, Wilts, claims it was part of a sex and relationship education program to "dispel" the myths of swear words.

But parents say they were not consulted by head James Colquhoun about the class and say kids were left "deeply upset."

For some reason, I’m remembering the sex-ed class in Python’s “Meaning Of Life”.

Why? What possible educational value could come from socially unacceptable words?

Shout “Freedom”. That will really offend some people.

Train them to listen to gangsta rap, perhaps?

Understandable. The top administrators today are aging hippies (though, not all of them are).

Britain has a lot of brainless wonders in charge of teaching their kids.

As improbable as it seems, this precise thing happened recently (within the last year) at one of our local, central California school districts.

Between Sex Ed and Political Correctness Training, I suspect that this sort of thing goes on all the time in the public schools, courtesy of Planned Parenthood, LGBT central, and idiot or pervert teachers. England, America, pretty much the same.

English schools used to be better than American, but that vanished long since under the equalizing efforts of the Labour Party.

Did they get a chance to put a condom on a banana, ‘cause that’s a real lesson they need to learn. /s

I disagree with most of the posts here. Most 7th graders know and use more four letter words than 40 year olds have even come close to knowing. If this teacher was explaining to them the real meaning of the words, then more power to him/her. IMO, that was an excellent lesson.
