Warning:The nature of satire requires the use of language
that is normally not appropriate for the classroom. Such language can and should be studied and understood for academic and historical reasons; however, in studying coarse language you are not given carte blanche to use such language willy-nilly in the classroom. All conversation is to be mature, responsible, and respectful. If you cannot abide by that principle during this unit, you will be removed from the classroom. In this unit you may encounter swear words, crass jokes, sexual references, and scathing insults. That does not give you permission to use that kind of language for anything other than intellectual examination. Questions?
