My Teacher Won't Let me Swear on the Internet

****
It has come to our teachers attention that many kids use profanity. However, most recently it has become more prominent on social medias such as Twitter and Facebook. Our teacher has kindly demanded that we cease and desist all uses of these colorful words. Now personally I usually do not swear on the internet just because that is the way I am. However, these so called bad words are being called "bad" by the previous generation. These people are trying to deny us one of the most basic rights of man. That is the Freedom of Speech.
Even with everyone's parents trying to prevent this new wave of vocabulary, the kids still use them on a daily basis. You hear it in school, on the field, and sometimes in the house. People, like our all knowing teacher, tell us that we cant use profanity on the internet, but what i want to know is how they even think that they are going to stop us. I know that since it is a private school, they can try and do things like this, but the truth of the matter is that this might work for a month or two, but the end result will always be the same. You can not make a teenager change his or her use of language just by telling them to stop. It will always go on.


This is America. The land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave. By trying to monitor or use of language what are teacher is essentially saying is that we have no more freedom of speech. If that is the case than i will surely leave my school and go somewhere else. Our freedoms must be protected at all costs no matter how small or unimportant they seem. However, like I said above, I don't usually swear on the internet. However, our teacher has crossed the line, and I must stand up for the common good. Our teacher has said that he will not let anyone swear on the internet anymore. This is complete and utter bull ****.
