Alumna Quoted in Anti-Swearing Article

Jacksonville State University alumna Laura Lee Cox of Cedartown, Ga., was quoted in a Washington Post article on anti-swearing efforts. The article appeared on the MSNBC website  (www.msnbc.msn.com) on April 11. It was about public school students' increasing use of foul language.

Ms. Cox told the writer, "I never thought I would say this—once being a hard-core anti-music censor—but I understand why [young people] are doing this: You almost can't find a song, video game, television show, anything, without a curse word." Ms. Cox is a seventh grade teacher at Cedartown Middle School.
