A Catholic school in New Jersey is getting attention today for a "no swearing" pledge it suggested for female students this month. The idea behind the pledge was for the women to take it and not swear for the month of February to be more ladylike. There was no pledge for the male students, just that they were encouraged not to curse in front of the women. The principal of Queen of Peace High School said the idea behind the single-sex pledge was that the ladies' good behavior would rub off onto the men.
Do you think this is a sexist way to curb swearing, or just a way to keep their students more civil? Should ALL students have to take the pledge?
