Middleborough has had some problems with teens hanging out in the town center and swearing so much that customers were being scared away from the shops, The Guardian reports. The city already had a bylaw that defined cursing in public as a crime, but the police never enforced it. Officials are hoping that by imposing a fine instead of a long, drawn-out trial, police will be more likely to stop the cursing.
The tricky part about these new fines is that the Supreme Court decided years ago that the government had no Constitutional right to restrict free speech based on swearing. But on the other hand, Massachusetts has its own law allowing policemen to arrest people who curse at others in public. So for right now, it’s up to each law enforcer in Middleborough to decide how far he or she is going to carry this new ordinance.

That is a great idea, but might be hard for some people. I think that the law enforcers should be lenient at first, then get stricter as people get better. Some might see this as an obstruction of free speech, but is there really anything good that comes from cursing? We, as civilized people, should surely be able to express ourselves calmly and kindly, without scaring other people.

I think swearing and cursing sounds really nasty coming out of people's mouths, especially the way a lot of teen's cuss these days. I understand why Massachusetts would want to prohibit cursing in public because it's unnecessary and sometimes disturbing to others. However, people make a strong case against prohibiting it to because of freedom of speech. Overall, I think it's appropriate because of children in public!
