But if you want a good discussion point, something that motivates your class to study, and/or something that most of them won't really know the answer to... And actually, none of the Ten Commandments is about cursing anyone. Yes, there's one about taking God's name in vain. That could include curses that include God's name, but all the "God!" and "Jesus!" exclamations I've heard Christians use thoughtlessly are included in that category as well.
