If the word is so bad it was automatically censored, I have a feeling this wasn't an issue of "PC" - it was an issue of your grandson using highly inappropriate words, which have NEVER been acceptable in a classroom setting. At least not where I grew up, but maybe slurs/curses are more accepted in your neck of the woods? He might as well learn respect now, as I'm doubting that censored word would be okay in a work setting (when he's grown).
When did teaching children about respect and proper language become a "PC" thing? That's ridiculous, and then you guys complain about children having no manners? Well duh. Maybe it's because people like the OP say "you can call people whatever you want, and expect no consequences!!!"
I don't think that's it at all. The system filters out MANY things.
My daughter graduated Summa *** Laude.. Can you figure out what word has the ***? Is that word so bad that it had to be filtered?
Exactly. You and his parents are the problem if they encourage this behavior, not the school or 'political corrrectness.'
I am not encouraging anything. Kids will do what they will under the supervision of teachers while in school. Calling someone a name shouldn't have such a severe punishment.
bizarre worked where most people were AA. they called each other this all day long. but one slip of the tongue even "you people" could cost u your career. even referring to a geographic area as having drug and alcohol issues was subject to racial accusations and discipline.
The response of some is a perfect example of what insanity is running wild in this country. It's all these evil parents and that evil child needs to be punished on and on. If somebody called my kid a name, any name I sure as hell aint gonna go crying to the principal about it. Let em handle it on their own. Now the kid is gonna catch even more grief for running home crying to mommy and daddy who run out to whine to the school. Those are the parents causing problems. What will these children do when they are out on their own and mommy and daddy aren't there? Like the earlier poster said if somebody was called that name back in the day a straight right hand usually came back at em. Of course we can't have that either nowdays. The world of kiddom has been infiltrated by the know it all nothing adults and it's all screwed up now.
Political correctness out of control? Hardly.
Grandson out of control and in need of discipline at home? Yes indeed.
What ever happened to raising boys to be decent humans? If I or any of my brothers had used the kind of language that an adult needs to censor on some forum while we were at school, the best we could have hoped for was having our mouths washed out with soap. If his parents are meeting because they are mad he got disciplined at school, they are a large part of what is wrong with schools today.
Political correctness has gone out of control. It certainly wasn't like that back in the day, but PC was gaining in educational institutions after the 2000s.
My grand was sent home the otherday for calling some kid in his physical education class a ******. His parents have a meeting with the teacher and principal about it in a few days. Are kids nowadays just coddled wimps? Back when I was in school the word ****** wasn't a big deal and we called one another all sorts names all the time and nobody would go to the principal about it. Whatever happened to raising up boys to be men?
Because your grandson was being a bully and a b*tch having to use words that are attempting to intimidate and are in a class of hate speech.
Are kids coddled wimps? Yep, some still are, and your grandson is apparently one of them. Society today, doesn't condone or endorse 'hate'. Obviously he hears these words spoken to him, around him, by those who are responsible for raising him and his actions. They probably heard it from those who were responsible for them.
Raising boys up to be men, doesn't entail using threats, hate speech or intimidation. Those who believe that or endorse that are not men in any sense of the word either.
Your grandson is lucky he didn't get a beat down or worse arrested. Hopefully he and his parents and his family will have learned a lesson, but considering the atmosphere and upbringing where he learned those words in the first place, probably not. Good luck with the introduction into the administrative system, it's the first step to graduating to the criminal justice system.
