[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait. You don't want your kid's teacher to play Wrecking Ball because the lyrics are fine but the video's raunchy. The teacher isn't playing the video. If you Kindergartener looks up the video on the internet under your watch, that's on you, not the teacher. You child shouldn't be using the computer unsupervised.[/quote]

Fair enough.

(I know this is a DCUM rarity, but I'm asking because I'm undecided, not because I want support for the position I've already taken, or because I want to make fun of people who don't agree with me.)

So, just me, then? Wanting to keep my daughter unaware of the existence of Miley Cyrus and her ilk for as long as possible? I guess I was kind of hoping that elementary school teachers would be steering children towards less-sexual music. There's lots of good stuff out there that doesn't lead to "oooh, I LOVE Miley Cyrus!" and the glorification of nasty skankitude. Hearing the music is the first step to liking the music which leads to liking the singer which leads to associating the singer with good acts and beliefs which leads to performing similar acts and espousing similar beliefs. Yes, I recognize that it's a simplistic and hysterical analysis ("dancing leads to intercourse!"), but that's the way my mind goes when I think of these young pop stars and my young daughter in the same sphere.
