I dont think that saying hell when talking about something biblical is wrong, but I do agree that parents shouldnt tell their kids there going to hell for saying certain words, they should play whoop rear on them instead. OR I've heard washing the mouth out with soap works.  |

I think it is sad that a child that young has to worry about "going to hell" When my cousins were little they attended parochial school and they were taught that if they didn't complete their homework assignments they would go to hell. So this is nothing new.  |

This is just sheer ignorance on the part of the school and on the parents part as well. Obviously the parents are teaching the child fear but fear and guilt are the tools of cultists. How very sad. Bye for now. Enki  |

No, the little girl shouldn't have been suspended, but seems like her parents need to go to a parenting 101 class or have some kind of mental assessment done. I would never tell my son that. Love Yourself,  |

I don't think they should suspend little kids period...they probably just wonder why they're off school so many days. I don't think they understand but then again I was never suspended at such a young age.  |

I think it's a stupid thing to get suspended for. I learned at an early age that it was wrong to swear to God (you will go to hell etc...). I learned it in church. The child very well could have learned it elsewhere also.  |

Ummm hell is considered a cuss word. I find it hard to believe that anyone would teach their child this. Did this happen or is it one of the religious urban myths that are put about to show the so called injustice of the separation of church and state.  |

Taken from the CNN article: "Brandy's father, Wayne McKenith, said when he learned about the suspension, he thought perhaps his daughter had said something worse, so he called the teacher for details. He was told another student overheard his daughter say the word. "I said, 'Hell? She got suspended for that?"' McKenith said. He said he asked the school to evaluate its profanity policy. "'Hell' is like the least of the words in school today," McKenith said. "You go home and turn on the TV tonight and tell me how many times you hear the word 'hell.' And I mean network TV, not even cable." Without a clear definition, the district could run into problems enforcing the policy, said Witold Walczak, legal director of the Greater Pittsburgh chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. "The school's policy says 'no profanity' and that's not further defined," Walczak said. "How should this little girl know that 'hell' is not allowed?" "It's questionable whether 'hell' is even a profanity, and it certainly isn't in the way that she used it," he added. McKenith, a suburban Pittsburgh police detective, said family members aren't "religious fanatics," but there's a healthy respect for the Lord, so he accepts his daughter's explanation. "She's under the assumption that good people go to heaven and ... bad people go to hell," he said Wednesday." |

well firstly the little one is ONLY 7yrs of age and only repeating what her parents have taught her, the parents are the ones at fault here and I think the school should have taken this into consideration....hugs  |

Some people are just too uppity. And saying 'swear to God' will not make you go to hell.  |

Rika, that happened in the 1950's long before law suits became a national pastime. Today she is turned off by religion. |

I remember getting suspended for uttering a curse word under my breath, and it was a lot worse than hell. It's very true that loose lips sink ships. The lesson is to be careful what you say, because it can and will come back to haunt you. Thanks for the post.  |

Donno-- I just don't think talking about "Hell" as a place is really anything you should be careful about saying. |

I dont think she should have been sent home for saying Hell, either. I do know that my mouth has got me in much hot water over the years that there's hope that others may learn from my mistakes. |
