I know people mean well, but I hope we can do better than this. Our choice of words is important.

Don't worry, your students have already seen it. There is a time in our culture where swearing is alright. Nothing Will.I.Am said was offensive in anyway. He did not use the words in a offensive way. The words simply expressed his passion and they great deal of enjoyment he has with FIRST. If he had said that FIRST is "great", it simply wouldn't have had the same impact.
I have heard many many, great people using swear words. But they use it at the right time, and have the best impact because of them. Yes our choice of words is important, but Will.I.Am Couldn't have expressed his feelings any better in this situation.

Please don't just ignore me, or "write me off" because I am a teenager, everyone here means well, and are truly genuine when we say that his words were not offensive at all.
