Related: About this forumIf I was teaching in AZ, I'd have to stop quoting Carlin
The Arizona State Senate is considering a proposal to fire teachers who swear. SB 1467 bans their use of any words that would violate FCC regulations against obscenity, indecency, and profanity on broadcast radio and television. A teacher would be suspended without pay after the first offence, fired after the third. Employers would also have the option of dismissing an instructor at the first curse.https://illinois.edu/blog/view/25/68258
Carlin's 7 Dirty Words: http://www.erenkrantz.com/Humor/SevenDirtyWords.shtml
I LOVE this by Carlin. I saw him do it live in the early 70s and have loved it ever since. I had never considered repeating it in my classroom, but you know how it is when they tell you that you CAN'T do something.

I have a few of his dvds and he did that bit a number of times. He even extended the list quite a bit.
