No Swearing

Daniel talks with Scott Hernandez, a student at Reed High School in Sparks, Nevada. Hernandez helped organize a no-swearing campaign at his school because an earlier survey of students and teachers showed that most people at Reed High perceived swearing as the number one problem. The 'two bleeping weeks' campaign is an effort to get students and teachers alike to think about the language they use, and not to take swearing for granted.
