Show Advisory Council Working on Plans To Control Use of Foul Language The Pleasant Grove Educational Advisory Council believes that Pleasant Grove has a problem in the use of foul and profane language. In a survey taken over a year ago by the PTA, this is how we ranked in the use of foul and profane language. As compared to Using tobacco, using drugs, drinking alcohol and vandalism, the use of foul and vulgar language was ranked first on a longtime long-time basis, and was second to the use of drugs during the past few years. It went back up to first place for the period of the past year or so. On the basis of age groups, foul and vulgar language was second for 85 year people and over, third for young adults, 18-25, in first place for the elementary students, second place for junior and senior high school students. As the school year is almost here, the educational council will be working with individuals to make students and faculties more aware of this problem. It will take a conscious effort on the part of each family and person in this community to truly make this a "Year of Decency." Judy Turnbow is the chairman for the educational advisory council for the "Year of Decency" and any suggestions on how to make a success suc-cess of the campaign can be given to her. |
