"Don't Use Profanity While Criticizing the President" -Aleah Washington 1st period

It's natural for people to state their opinion and stand by it, but everyone still has to be respectful to a certain extent. On a live broadcast, two news contributors were immediately taken off air after swearing to forcefully stress their opinion about President Obama. Even though curse words are often said on national television and is allowed, the Fox Business Network felt their word choices were inappropriate. Stacey Nash, one of the contributors, usually makes multiple appearances but has been suspended. As for Ralph Peters, he had to apologize and he too was suspended. Peters was told "his language was inappropriate" and isn't allowed to use that type of profanity on a live broadcast. When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke out about leaders who were not doing enough for the
equality of people, he didn't just curse and speak negatively about them as a person and not a national leader the whole time.

The moral of the story is to watch what you say. The one day you get too comfortable and say the wrong thing can cause you to be in a lot of trouble. It doesn't matter if you spoken at a place on a many of occasions and are well known, it is wrong to speak down on a person in a rude manor. No matter how you feel about someone, especially with high authority, it isn't right to speak horribly about them while using foul language especially for the public to see.
