The ACLU celebrates its victory in the Supreme Court over the high school student using the f-word about school and its organizations outside of school hours by selling t-shirts with the f-word.
I use the word myself. I have supported the ACLU since Skokie and still do. I support the SCOTUS decision. But I have to disagree with the ACLU--IMO there's a difference between what's permissible and what's desirable. It's permissible to use the f-word in most settings; it's not desirable to promote its use in most settings. As with the n-word, I exclude discussion of it when it's necessary or desirable to quote it.
