    Brown Sugar or Stray Cat Blues..... If you wrote songs like that now you'd be put in prison.

    I know! I don't care what race said it, it is stupid. IMO it's more of a racist viewpoint to insinuate all blacks listen to rap, and thus were targeted.

    Either way, I am not for censoring kids music, but I AM for safe distraction free driving (couldn't imagine being a bus driver listening to so many peoples blaring music). So IMO they should ban all music unless its played to headphones. That is a win win for everyone.

    Everyone here agrees with each other on one thing or another, doesn't mean anything. For example, who here likes making fun of HCP?

    I'll listen to that version. BTW Did you ever hear "Red Rooster" Live featuring Eric Clapton? {Stones and Clapton in their prime}

    So listening to Christian rap must get you into really big trouble.

    Don't think so. But I've heard one exists. I'll try and find it.

    Why do you assume that high school administrators are liberals? When I was in high school they were conservatives.

    Rap radio stations are probably excluded because of cussing, talk stations because of politics, and religious stations because the law doesn't let schools do religious training, the same as Sunday School not training you to believe in evolution.

    Honestly, it's more of a tongue in cheek poke fun type thing. They talk about tolerating transgender bullshit, this and that, but then banhammer comes down on the music. Just funny and had to be poked at.

    But everyone knows that the majority of the PPS system is Liberal. The entire county is Liberal, their tax scheme is Liberal, etc.
