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

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

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

Yep. TobyMac will get you expelled.

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!

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.

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.
