No it isn't going to corrupt anyone to a major degree, however it will give a strong example that this kind of thing is okay. It doesn't matter how much you think someone won't see something, everything you make should be something you would share openly with anyone who will be an end user.
FIRST is an activity that a lot of kids use to learn about being professional by working with professionals. What does it say about the program when one of those professionals suddenly doesn't seem so professional? People get fired from jobs all the time for saying less than that in a much less public place. No matter your view on how his will affect the kids you work with, this is not the kind of language I allow to be displayed in a public area nor does it send the message of kindness and professionalism that I have come to expect and depend on from organizations associated with FIRST.
Beyond that, it is disrespectful. We learn a lot by trial and error. If one of your students made a mistake coding something and got that as a response how would you feel about that? What if you made a mistake at work and that was the response you got from your boss?
