    all of that music sucks! So hey whatever! Let the "tolerant" liberals do their thing. It's not like they haven't lied about their stance before!

    The news should start creating articles about things that do NOT result in accusations of racism. That would be much more novel.

    It claims that their list excludes any station that may in any way be offensive to any student. Pop music and country music can't be offensive? I've certainly heard lyrics on those stations that I don't feel are appropriate for my children.

    When I was a teacher, I'd prefer students only listen to instrumental music on campus...I don't care if it's Chopin or Miles Davis....they are there to learn and their minds should be free of distraction to concentrate on their studies.

    Censorship? Oh come on! That's not that bad.... I mean, what's the worst that can happen?

    And what about Jazz? The very name of the genre is obscene, although I suppose most students don't know that.

    Buses should only play classical music. Except for anything in the key of B-flat (offensive to small-chested women) or C-sharp (offensive to people with vision problems).

    I always like turning up the volume on Cannibal Corpse whenever I'm in the trendier parts of Portland. "I Cum Blood" is such a classic song for stop lights. If I'm going to listen "cliched juenvenistic dad rock" then they can't accuse me of being unoriginal with my music selections.

    A fine choice. Some of my favorite classics include "asian hooker" and "gloryhole"

    Hahaha! They're back tracking like the bitches that they are!

    The overlord "liberals" couldn't take the guilt from the masses so in true fashion they're quickly making a new inclusion rule. Hahaha.

    Racist? LOL. Such bullshit. More like rap music usually contains some of the most violent, inconsiderate, and aggressive (inappropriate) language. Everyone listens to rap. The best rapper in the world is generally regarded as Eminem. Racist? Please....stupid policy? Yes.

    IMO no music should be played out loud. If you want music use your headphones. Keep distractions down for kids and drivers alike. After all child safety is more important than 50 radio stations blaring.

    Stalin ordered the East German system to make a stamp of him or he would come back from the grave and order executions. I don't understand Michael Jackson remotely involved with Eastern Europe
