Texas day care center bans 3-year-old girl over curse word

A Texas mom thinks it's bull that her 3-year-old girl was expelled from the Jubilee Child Development Center in San Antonio for saying "sh-t," WOAI reported.

"I don't condone her saying i,t but for that to be a faith-based day care, I would think that they would reinforce and let her know that's not a word to say," Cassandra Wright told the local station.

Wright said she doesn't use that word at home and isn't quite sure how little Arianna heard it in the first place. She even doubts whether she knows what it means.

"I asked her what word did you say and she told me 'animal,'" she said.

But Alissa Blankenship, the day care center's director, says the school has a zero tolerance policy for profanity because it spreads easily. She doesn't think this was an isolated incident anyway. She told the NBC affiliate that Arianna laughed after saying the word and worried she might say it again.

The center reserves the right to dismiss any child that is not in its best interest, she added.

"Well as a private center and also a parent myself you know there's decisions and choices that have to make," she explained.

Arianna is not the first child the center banned for cursing.

This is part of black culture. The school is definitely racist.

Shit is a crude word, not a curse.

Seriously, the day care workers are so pathetic that they cannot instill even the slightest bit of discipline in a three year old?

Well, hopefully it won’t go on her “permanent record”, as that might prevent her from getting into a better university... (That would have used to be sarcasm, but today there are so many fruitcakes, you can’t tell.)

Not in the Catholic schools I went to in my youth! Maybe, just maybe, in the schoolyard. But then the class tattletale would run with the immortal words: “Sister! Sister!” to the nun on duty. After she got through with you, you’d wish you were banned from school.

BS - you’re just an excuse maker.

LOL. Maybe the child learned the word from you. We know what BS stands for.

Suspend, fine.

Ban, no. Not unless this was the excuse for expelling a child with deeper problems.

If their reasoning is that they are a faith-based day care, they lost a ministry opportunity instead of gaining a potential convert. Correct the child rather than ban the child.

My deeply religious Grandmother swore one time in her life, when my mother and aunt were young girls (Gram was a single mother as a result of her husband dying from leukemia when my mom and aunt were very very young).

She had just finished mixing up a batch of red Kool Aid for the girls and the glass pitcher slipped from her hand, hit the floor and exploded into a red cloud of glass shards and red sugar water, everywhere. Apparently it was exactly the same as the scene near the ending of the movie Uncle Buck.

As far as my very, very religious dearly departed Gram is concerned... she is probably burning in Hell for saying that one word.

I was in the 4th grade about the time Davy Crockett everything was the rage. Some aspiring “American Idol” type (only it was Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts in my time) introduced us to a new version of “On Top Of Ol’ Smokie”. Sample verse below:

On top of Ol’ Smokie
All covered with snow...
I saw Davy Crockett
Kissin’ Marilyn Monroe...

And it when on from there to many other verses that extended my vocabulary at this early age.

Before anyone jumps me about the vulgarity, let me assure this was back in the time when men were men, women were women, and kids could tell the difference.

In 1955, more than 100 years after his death, kids once again looked up to Davy Crockett as a hero and role model, thanks to Walt Disney.

And, in 2015, a child who showed up like that would instantly scare the (oops, there's that word again!) out of his liberal-educated public school teacher and the school administrators. The child would be kicked out of school, removed from his parents and sent to a foster home while the parents would be brought before a judge on child endangerment charges leveled by the local child protective services office.

We're soooooo civilized today!

Somehow I missed all the dirty lyrics of folk songs and tv show theme songs! Seriously deprived kiddiehood. My husband, growing up in the tough Italian neighborhoods of the Bronx, knew them all.

My young nephew many years ago, was about this age when he would yell the word “TRUCK!” and point at a truck every time we passed one on the road. But he had not yet learned how to produce the “tr-” sound so he replaced it with an “f-”.

His mother would calmly reply “That’s right, Sean. ‘Trrrrr-uck’.” And he eventually outgrew it.

Funny, I haven’t seen anyone mention “grandma’s lye soap” as a remedy to the situation.

Oh I know. The liberal crowd would find that to be too cruel in this new progressive world of change. I expect they would recommend some analysis by a liberal psychologist or maybe....abortion. Yes, that’s it. /s

It’s gotten to the point that I’m actually surprised whenever I see a father sitting for these interviews. It’s almost always a single mother.

I’m really stepping in it by saying this, but vulgarity was always a “man” thing. Women were expected to remain pure and above that level. Vulgarity cheapened a women’s image (grace and manners) and enhanced a male’s image (bravado) back then.

As southern gentleman, we always showed manners and refrained from using vulgarity in the presence of women but among men it was a different situation.

Now we are all equal and everyone is so much happier with the new found equality in our society./s

Not only that, but now that most records are digitized and duplicated and searched and copied at higher and higher frequencies, it IS likely to be part of your permanent record.

Don't blow off the Assistant Principal anymore.
