Four Letter Words. Legal Brief.
Zirkel, Perry A.; Gluckman, Ivan B.
NASSP Bulletin, v80 n583 p87-91 Nov 1996
The Massachusetts Supreme Court overturned a lower court's ruling against a speech pathology teacher whose contract was not renewed following a parent's complaint. The teacher had explained 4-letter words to 13 year-olds, bringing them up in class, then discouraged further usage. Judges decided the teacher had acted creatively in response to students' behavior and had not violated the school's vaguely worded policy. (MLH)
