Girl Suspended from School for Saying 'Hell'
Feb 5, 7:46 am ET
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A second-grade girl from Pittsburgh was suspended this week from her public elementary school for saying the word "hell" to a boy in her class.
But 7-year-old Brandy McKenith says she was only warning the boy about the eternal comeuppance he could face for saying: "I swear to God."
"I said, 'You're going to go to hell for swearing to God,"' Brandy was quoted as saying in an article that appeared on the Web site of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review on Wednesday.
School officials were unavailable for comment. A Pittsburgh Public Schools spokeswoman told the newspaper that the student code prohibits profanity but does not provide a clear definition of what profanity is.
The girl's parents, who said they believed their daughter's version of the story, were flabbergasted by the suspension and complained to the school principal.
"Kids are bringing guns and knives to school. ... They've got dope. And we're worried about 'hell'?" said her father, Wayne McKenith.
Meanwhile, the incident drew the attention of civil liberties experts as far away as New York.
"There was no threat and the word was being used in its intended way, not in a vulgar manner," civil liberties attorney Christopher Murray said in a statement distributed by his New York law firm.
School officials were unavailable for comment.

Funny. I never did anything like that to my teachers. My brother did throw a desk at one once, tho. Maybe that explains why they gave me a wide berth.

First time I swore at a teacher was in gr. 6 when I was 12 - he had a habit of throwing lemons etc at us if we were talking in his class and so on. The kids at the group of desks next to our group kept making a noise & the stupid idiot kept throwing his lemons at our group. Hit me once & I thought yeah OK, maybe he just missed....second time I gave him a dirty look........third time I told him "Stop throwing things at me you fucking barbaric c*nt or I'll have my dad rearrange that snot for brains face of your's" (hehe - daddy was still a boxer back then & my hero).
In highschool our guidance councellor misplaced the entire class' files & blamed us for it (said we took it home). So he went around & gave everyone a hiding with a plank (about 4cm thick & 6cm wide) - guys on their bums & girls on their hands. When he hit me the plank broke (had a helluva red welt on my hand & he actually broke the skin - felt like my damned hand was gonna come off at the wrist). So I got up, looked him in the eye & said "Don't ever touch me again.......if you do I will shove that plank so far up your fucking arse you'd need a dentist to remove it".........he threatened to send me to the principle for detention............so I threatened that I'd go the to press & expose him as a sadistic ponce who takes pleasure in physically abusing the kids in his class......never did get that detention :D
Hell, I even used explitives in my essays - never got hassle about it because it was in context - guess my language teachers were rather progressive :eh:
