So it's ok for your kids to use the words but you just don't swear in front of them? Isn't that just being a passive parent?
We don't judge other parents for the choices they make, and in fact we teach our kids to not swear in front of other kids. But that's no different then speech used with friends and speech used in a professional setting. Everyone adjusts their speech by setting.
We do teach not just by example but by also making sure they understand the meaning they are trying to convey. For ALL words. The difference between the meaning of racist words and non-disparaging swear words is an ocean. Swear words are really just regular words while racist words are meant to hurt someone. We don't allow any words that are meant to hurt, no matter what that word actually is.
To me using frak, heck, gosh, darn, etc is the exact same as the equivalent swear words.
Allowing swears also takes away their taboo nature. My wife's nephew was brought up the same way and was the only one in his friend group to NOT get in trouble for swearing at school. He knew the time and place.
To me, teaching to base language on the meaning and not word itself is the opposite of lazy.
I don't teach them that it's ok to use bad words. I teach them there is a time and place for everything.
Which just does back to my original point. Killing in the name of self defense isn't ok but acceptable.
Ok and accepted are two different things. The fact that you haven't caught on to that and the fact that the producer of that meme thinks he's a good person for simply not being a racist bigot isn't the hot take you think it is.
