I BTW for the record am a Omaha North High School Class of 1998 Graduate


GO VIKINGS!

and knew Gene Haynes who was Vice principal at the time and is now the Principal of Omaha North (real good hearted guy)

I applaud him for doing the right thing

I dont believe foul language should be used by anyone at any school, no matter what the reason

It depends on the setting of the play, the time period. On anything based on the past, you use the terminology of the era the play takes place, or any other book, movie tv show, whatever. To take it out, as repulsive as it is, would be applying our standards in place of the time area of the play.

Every now and then you have to remind people with things like this so they don't forget. I do the same on other message boards for putting up pictures of aborted babies at times and, on 9/11, I'll put up pictures of the people jumping out of the Twin Towers. People get upset at me for that...I just say it's to remind them as what happened, because people tend to forget!

With the abortion pictures, it's amazing how many pro-abortion catholics there are out there. And they get mad seeing those. :doh
