This. Treat them like adults. You get one sentence or less, then leave them alone. They are repeating a dumb slang expression they heard. It's not a hate crime and they didn't think before they spoke. [/quote]

I once saw junior high kids looking at something inappropriate (porn like) on their iPhones at a school function. I said "that's not appropriate" in a mom voice and gave the look.

Stopped them in their tracks. I think you can say something - I would - but per this PP, keep it brief. [/quote]

Yeah and they continued later on. [/quote]

PP here - if they did, that's on them, not me because I spoke up. There were a lot of kids around (school carnival) and I don't want my little kids looking at junior high students looking at nudie pics on their phones...nor do I think the students should be looking at them.

The administration was around, their parents were around, I didn't make it a big deal but did let them know it was not appropriate. Because it's not.
