Puritanism remains alive and well in the United States

In Louisiana, a tenured professor has been fired for using obscene language and telling dirty jokes around students.  (And this is a woman, friends.)

We lawyers will be the beneficiaries of this crusade to cleanse America's campuses of the unclean.
