Sometimes, Four-Letter Words Are OK for Use in Classrooms

Nolte, M. Chester

American School Board Journal, 160, 8, 28-31, Aug 73

Discusses the degree to which a school board can control verbal obscenity in the classroom. Several instances are given of legal battles between teachers and boards. Indicates that court decisions have yet to produce a clear-cut pattern that could help boards better assess their powers in the area of what is usually called filthy language. (Author/WM)
