New Jersey Catholic high school asks girls to sign a no cursing pledge

Girls At A Catholic High School Asked To Sign A “No Cursing” Pledge

Via NYDailyNews

A Catholic high school is under fire for ordering its girls to sign up to a “no-cursing” pledge – but not requesting the same of its male students.

Queen of Peace High School, in North Arlington New Jersey, has been accused of sexism and having double-standards for the rule that was introduced by administrators last week.

Student Dana Cotter, 16, said that although she believed the idea behind the pledge was sound, she criticized it for not involving all students.

But the move has been defended by its Principal Larry Lavallee, who said girls at the institution had “the worst language.”

Lori Flynn, the teacher who organized the pledge, also said school officials just wanted “ladies to act like ladies.”

She added that, although boys were not specifically asked to participate, they were asked to tone down their cursing when female students were around, reports NBC10 Philadelphia.

It was hoped that the improved behavior of the girls would have a positive influence on the boys, she said.

Do you think this was a good idea or is the school just further perpetuating a double-standard of behavior??
