[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do all of you ban hip-hop with explicit language in your house? The school system offers a hip-hop class as a history course. Does that class expressly condemn the language used? Some seem to think the word is okay to use when certain students use them - without consequences -and it sends a mixed message to the student body.

I discuss these e-mails from the school with my children who respond, "Mom, I am not racist. Stop accusing me of being one."

There needs to be uniformity throughout the school system and the punitive measures.

One of my children was very upset how the media treated a child they interviewed on te sidewalk without parental permission. [/quote]

In our house we have had the discussion about various songs, including hip hop but not exclusively hip hop, that has language we consider to be offensive.  We don't allow our children to curse and use words to degrade others so we do ban music that uses such language from our home.  We do feel we sometimes fight a losing battle when children are not held to this standard at school.  In general,  there is lots of language that would have been suspendable offenses in my high school that is allowed to be used at school in MCPS. [/quote]
