High School Fines Students for Cursing

$103 fines. This principle seems to be clueless about (and proud of) the classism of this policy. From the article:
The tickets accuse students of creating a public disturbance and require them to appear in Superior Court. No one has yet paid the fine, which some students and parents say is excessive, especially for students from low-income families. Hartford educators said the fine was intended to be a financial burden. "If it was $25, maybe they would pay and curse just the same," Ms. Gordon said.
