[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is horrible and disturbing. It also could have happened at any school where kids are allowed to pipe in the pre-game in-game or post-game music. Basically, any time a kid is anywhere near a public address system.

Warning shot: every school in this area and anywhere else in the nation should issue a ruling that clearly states that such language is specifically prohibited. [/quote]

Agreed that it could have happened at any area school - it is (sadly) one of the most popular songs on the radio right now.   I am not condoning the playing of the song at the game in any way, but the way OP worded the post (or at least the subject heading) at first led me to believe that it was a Bullis song with the offending word.  If Sidwell, St. Albans or any area public high school had played the song, I highly doubt anyone would have the same visceral reaction - it is almost like someone is constantly looking for ways to take swings at Bullis.

I'm not going to read this whole thread but people really shouldn't be singling out Bullis, although the school should clearly have done a better job monitoring what went out over the loudspeakers. My point really is that this is a nationwide problem.  I hate hearing anyone say, sing or rap the word ``nigger.'' It's revolting and demeaning and we need to remove it from popular culture. It's not a word to be celebrated. We need people to stand up in the rap world and start saying that the word is unacceptable just like the growing criticism of the homophobia and misogyny that is also widespread in the rap world.[/quote]
