Could be.

The link I found fascinating is the lack of violence associated with a police citation for "swearing" on school grounds. Most kids probably watch some TV movies at home, even in Texas. Then they go to school, where they likely emulate the speech they learned on TV, then are cited by Big-Badged Brother on school grounds for "speaking".

It seems entirely unreasonable that money = speech for corporations but "profane" speech = punishment for kids using words they could have learned by watching TV movies.
