These things should be handled by the school board if the schools themselves fail to do the right thing. The more local the solution, the better the solution.

I hate the way these answeres are worded. "because the critics say" is a loaded statement. Leave out that part and I say no.

There are "bad words" in books, just like there are "bad words" in REAL LIFE. Get over it.
And really, why spend time and money trying to punish such ridiculous things when there are MUCH worse happenings to be concentrating on!?

The FCC Rules are so antiquated and adjust ever few years that it would be impossible to make a definitive arguement of just what constitutes infringment of the FCC Rules.

Besides this is just a bunch of Conservative hogwash from the Arizona legislature again intruding into the classroom to further tie the hands of theachers from teaching.

this should be a local matter. Let the FCC rule what is sent over the airways. That is their job.

Sorry but we need to get rid of the liberal union thugs trying to highjack the American way of life first.

If I had to deal with all those kids on a daily basis, Im sure a few bad words would slip now and then.
Do people have nothing better to worry about?

Parents allowed the gov't years ago to slowly strip them of their parental rights and obligations in two ways:

a) By allowing the agencies and organizations and lobbyists to step in and take control in areas in the home where they shouldn't be

b) By asking for help in areas where they, the parents, should have just continued to keep charge and control...

Then it's time for parents to take their rights back and keep them.

The FCC regulations dont belong in our schools. Hell, the FCC shouldnt even exist as far as I'm concerned.
For the state, it should only punish a school if it broke an already existing law. About the only legal thing they could do here, in my opinion, is have the state legislature vote to cut funding.

I have to also agree with these critics. the majority of school related issues should be resolved at the local level, and through legal means. I would prefer we either returned to a localized model of school or a voucher system.
