No, I was just giving the context in which I was raised. I don't think swearing should be used at all.

Look I live in the real world most of the time and I understand that swearing is a part of it. I will most of the time overlook the occasional swear word but I have been in the pits next to a team who constantly used foul language and I had to have a talk with the students when it was apparent that their mentor didn't care. They apologized and stopped.

I just object to the train of thought that seems to say that cursing is part of the work environment so it's OK to let the kids swear away.

It's not censorship it's teaching the right thing.
