Maybe if the "kids" were 8 or younger. By the time they're 12 to "of age" (or the age where one is seen as an adult), the ONLY people who should still be telling their children what's inappropriate should be the parents. It is not within the school's jurisdiction to tell people what they can and cannot hear.

If the school is that concerned about it, then they should have reviewed G.P. Taylor Before inviting him to speak to the students. They could have said "don't say boogey, bum, fart, or gay". Appearantly they didn't because when schools request speakers would either agree to the terms or refuse the invitation. If they didn't care what was said before the 'incident' and only cared because the kids were actually excited about something, then the school needs to get their priorities in order.
