It has been mentioned before, yes. (Don't recall if it was on the mailing
list or the 'pedia.) It's worth noting (previous mention was before the case
went to trial) that the kid won.

Subject: [WikiEN-l] Wikipedia cited in court case
Americans might be aware of a recent court case
involving a student suing on the basis of being
punished in school for using the word "fuck", which he
claimed was an infringement of his right to free
speech. The kid's lawyer filed a long brief detailing
the history of the word, which apparently uses
Wikipedia's article as a source. See
