Yeah, I'm going to skip approx. 85% of the posts because there is way too much text. Look, it comes down to the teachers first. First they control their classroom, a student swears, than he/she can leave and not come back into the class because the language is disrupting the learning environment. As far as after the bells ring, it's still up to the teachers. The kids who are brought up in broken homes dont decide what is tolerated in shcool, the teachers do. The school is a safe haven, thats why the 4th amendment doesnt apply there; it should be a safe environment from violence and language. Maybe school vouchers are a solution
And what are you actually trying to communicate if you need to say that word?😕
Or is it that you do not have enough command of the language to actually state what you need to say?

That word offends people and it is not tolerated in a capitalistic society which we live in. If you can start saying that word people will want to say other words. Society needs some form of stability. If you say it's okay to say "f*ck" then it should be okay to say "f*cking c*nt" (which offends a lot of women) or perhaps "*igg*r".
I probably was singing a different tune almost 20 years ago 😀 She was being a b1tch. A girl next to me was chatting away - then when I talked to somebody, she chastised me. Same thing happened 10 minutes later, she ignored the girl and gave me a detention. Went downhill from there 😀 I'm telling you, the mods have always been against me!!!
Society is stability, i just don't see the problem. I'm just wondering why it's not allowed to say. I mean, you said it, i said it, the difference is the star we made. Everyone knows the word. And there's just nobody saying f¨'cking c'nt matm. Or n*gger. I just don't see the danger in unbanning them. Because if someone said those words, they'd be attacked by everyone or banned. That's imo where the stability lies.
Oh, and F U C K if you couldn't guess the word.
To eaglekeeper, why yes, regarding many people frmo the right wing in this forum my vocabulary falls surprisingly short, even though it's bigger than the average english speaker. It's a way of expressing non-conscent, in degrees. Sometimes ifeel like using that word, mostly regarding CanOWorms and Rip, not by calling them it, but by using it in the "f*ck me i cna't believe you just said that" way.
It seems that you are attempting to take a garbage word and twist it to create one's own language.
If you were to look at what any of these profanisty words were originally intended to be, then there is no correlation between the word and what you are trying to use it for.
As others have posted, would you also tolerate you young children using that language to you or would you treat is as disrespect.

It's "kind of" a problem. Kids do swear a lot. My younger brother's mouth is a sewer.
I swear too, though less now than I did 5-10 years ago. I don't think it reflects a degredation of my verbal skills. A curse in here and there isn't turning somebody into a drooling idiot. I hate seeing kids swearing because they often do use it in place of proper articulation, but it's not like they're getting somebody pregnant or mugging old ladies. Mrsskoorb and I went on an anti-fvck stint for a month or so recently and by God I just didn't like it. It's so darn ingrained in me that if I do something like stub my toe or drop a glass it's about the only word that's prudent.
IMO if you can control it then it's ok. I see people who swear in public and that's something I don't do. It's simply bad manners. You don't allow strangers or kids in a restaurant to hear you swearing, just as you don't swear in a business meeting, but if you can control it and use it in personal settings than it's not the end of the world.

The insane stuff that teachers and administrators worry about in school continues to amaze me. The wasted time spent hassling some kid for something basically harmless, like swearing , amazed me, and still does.
I remember this one kid coming to class wearing a baseball cap, and the teacher lost it, he didn't want to take it off and she got all red in the face and it was so over the top, it got us laughing at her. Turned out the kid had been under his car the night before and had burned off a whole lot of his hair on the exhaust and his mom basically shaved his head to even it out. What is is about a hat that gets them so upset? Gum?
My own experience with teacher insanity, well, about something like this anyway is when I came to school after being really sick from the flu freshman year, and having a fairly decent beard going. I was 14. I didn't shave because I wanted a friend to see it, as I was the first of us, by far, to start shaving (at 12), and none of us had ever really had a beard at all yet.
The teacher takes a look at me right after class starts and says "Hey! You need to wash your face before you come to MY class!" Me; "HUH??" "Oh, you mean my beard??" She comes over and gets about 3" from my face, then twists her mouth up and says, "How the hell old are you?" I laugh and say "14!" She looked like she was going to punch me, then tells me not to come back the next day unless I shaved. I was confused by this, and asked her, "Why are you so upset about me having a beard?" She goes out the door, and goes down the hall. Her and the moron principal come back and they take turns looking at me through the little window in the door. Finally, I'm ordered to come out into the hall. The teacher goes back into class and he principal asks me why I have a beard. I had to say it, "Uhh, puberty??" He tried to keep from laughing, but couldn't, and then asks me again. I tell him why, and then ask, "Why does she care about me shaving?" He said he didn't know, but he wanted me to shave tomorrow. I told him I would think about it. He didn't like that, but just told me to go into class.
I go in and the teacher goes out into the hall and they get into it. We can't understand them, but she was pissed, big time. After school, I'm at home. My dad, who was sick too answers the phone. It's the teacher. My dad's sitting there, listening, and finally says "Hey, don't you have something better to worry about than if my kid has hair on his face?" She sputtered and stammered and he says, "Well, I have something more important to do than talk to you about this BS!" She says, "What would that be?" He says "I gotta pee!", and hangs up. He looks at me and laughs, and says "Jeez, what a nut she is!" Don't shave, to hell with her!
And I didn't, for a whole week, until it was bugging me so much I got rid of it. The teacher was openly hostile the rest of the year. It was fun.
