There's nothing wrong with a kid getting in trouble over saying godammit. That's not language someone should be using in school, regardless if it has the word god in it or not. At any school, someone saying the F word, or any other swear word, shouldn't be taken extremely lightly, because the kids and the language that they use is an example of the school and the students that attend there. Swear all you want, but doing it in school is ridiculous, whether you're using God's name in vain or not.
Other than that, I don't really agree, to be honest. I went to public school for awhile a few years ago, and it got to the point where the school decided they were not going to say the pledge of allegiance in classes because it "used the G word." I think that's beyond ridiculous. Then again, I suppose it depends on what school you go to, but I think it's completely the opposite. Are people really going to die if a teacher mentions a bible passage? I think not.
