Should there be tougher laws against swearing? & Photos
story
By Angela
Clayfield
Shawn Bradshaw, a second-year law and security administration student, assured me he doesn’t swear because it’s a sign of poor taste. Then he spilled his coffee on the pavement. Perhaps it was an attempt to prove himself, or perhaps it was an accident. Either way, he didn’t swear. If he had, and there were children within earshot, he could have found himself in serious trouble. Recently there have been cases of people being punished for swearing in public.
