"that's so gay"

[kimberkit]

I wonder whether it is my moral obligation as a teacher to stop my kids from using carelessly-offensive language like "that's so gay." Or is it just me coming from another paradigm?

Choose your battles - if you can expend a lot of energy fighing "that's so gay" comments, then you must be doing very well in general - when I taught city HS kids, I found that comments like that were so relatively tame that going after them didn't make sense.

Although Cath's idea of creative insults is pretty cool, too.
