"City Swears Off Swearing For One Week
SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. -- We swear this story is true: it's No Cussing Week in South Pasadena.
The City Council passed a proclamation Wednesday, putting curse words off limits during the first week of every March.
The mayor said it provides a reminder for people "to be more civil, to elevate the level of discourse."
No Cussing Week was the inspiration of 14-year-old McKay Hatch, the founder of South Pasadena High School's No Cussing Club.
Hatch admits he himself engaged in colorful language in the past, but said he tries not to anymore.
Hatch hopes his No Cussing Club will lead to cuss-free zones in other cities.
He said he thinks it could be a quality-of-life issue and said there could be less violence if people behave better."
