Sen. Lori Klein, R-District 6PHOENIX (AP) -
A group of Republican lawmakers are backing a bill that would require Arizona teachers to limit their classroom speech to words that comply with Federal Communications Commission regulations on what can be said on TV or radio.
That means no cussing in class or using other gross language.
The Arizona Republic reports the bill establishes penalties for anyone teaching in a public school who violate the FCC standards. Penalties range from a one-week suspension for a first offense to being fired for a third offense.
Sen. Lori Klein says the bill stems from complaints about teachers in local high schools using inappropriate language in front of students.
