[USA] High school students can be fined for swearing

[Moose]

You can get fined for $200-300 USD for swearing in High school, thought this hasn't affected my school it has for others.

Seriously,
I'd have like over a million dollars in fines then. But our teachers dont care :/

[Moose]

Haha, its probably a way to make money.

Rofl, Just For Swearing ..? Oh My Days Whats Gunna Happen Next.

Nah not for us maybe just detention/exclusion

[Moose]

Yes it is USA.

LLOYD: Whether you call it cussing, cursing, or swearing, you'd better not do it in front of teachers in Connecticut! That's where school officials in certain areas are clamping down on those who don't watch their mouths, by imposing a fine that would take you 20 hours to work off at federal minimum wage! Chris Velarde of affiliate WTNH tells us what students have to say - in clean terms, of course - about this punitive measure.

Its also affecting Calfornia.
