Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1170785, member: 716"] I'm not prepared to argue about this, but just jotting down my first reaction: How do you prevent this in the future? "Kids, you'll no longer be welcome on our team if you use bad language...that happens to be acceptable for some of your peers to use." She shouldn't have behaved that way. I don't have too much sympathy for undergraduates, who too often seem to be obnoxious and selfish people who make the University community worse. But punishment for use of language that is commonly used and accepted by others within the community strikes me as unfair and problematic. Then again, it shouldn't be difficult for these kids to not behave like asses and embarrass their school and program. She failed on that front. [/QUOTE]
