In 1987 I was a high school basketball coach in Illinois. I don't know kids are today when it comes to manners, but I do think when it comes to civil discourse we've deteriorated.
During one game one of our players became totally disgusted with how the team was not playing defense. One of the referees call a foul on one of his team members and the kid, Derrick, said out loud, "Our defense sucks" and one of the referees immediately whistled him for a technical foul for using bad language.
Times have changed, haven't they? It seems as though one of our political parties is now using the F word as standard operating procedure. As an example:
A Democrat congresswoman is in hot water after making a profanity laced rant on X about President Trump’s recent appearance to the Supreme Court as Justices have oral arguments on birthright citizenship.
Democrat Rep. Susie Lee of Nevada wrote, “I’ll pray they f*ck him to his face. Sorry, I say f*ck a lot these days.”
Need I go on?
