Well, I can't tell if you're joking, so I'll pretend this is a serious question. Yes it does exist, there are plenty of them across the US and in other countries as well. You might find a list of them at www.cccu.org (Council of Christian Colleges and Universities). I mean, they didn't literally ban us from telling people to "fuck off," but the campus environment was pretty love-your-neighbor-kumbaya, so being angry and explosive signaled that someone needed to be prayed for. We did sign contracts saying we would not drink and would not have premarital (or gay) sex. When you're that deep into it, though, you don't even need a contract... I mean, I was Sold Out for Jesus back then, so I wouldn't have touched booze or men anyway. But for some people, they just signed it and went on doing their boozing and fucking, since their parents made them attend that college anyway and they didn't feel any obligation to uphold the rules. No one actually "enforces" the contract, but socially, there were definitely consequences if word got out...

/sorry for the threadjack...
