NORTH ARLINGTON — A Bergen County Catholic school is clamping down on foul language among its student body. Well, half of it, anyway.

According to a report in The Record, administrators at Queen of Peace High School in North Arlington have asked all female students to take a "no-cursing pledge", but no such demand has been made of male students.

Lori Flynn, a teacher who organized the campaign, told the paper it was because the school wanted "ladies to act like ladies."

Some students objected to the double standard, but others said they were happy to oblige.
