I personally don't consider them "cute words." They were clearly highly
suggestive and they don't belong on campus. But more than anything, they were a
tacky thing to wear. I would never let a daughter of mine, if I had had one, ever
wear anything like that.
Did I mention before that I believe that parents are the first, best teachers
of their children? Those lessons extend far beyond calculus and history. They
include a sense of grace, elegance and honesty more than anything else.
I think you're raging against the whole wrong end of the stick, John.
