You've Got To Be Freaking Kidding Me

Saw a story on this featured on KOTV this morning:

http://www.flocabulary.com/

Flocabulary produces educational hip-hop music and engaging curricular materials to teach academic content for grades K-12.

"Ingenious" says Oprah and Friends? Really? With one section titled "Old Dead White Guy"? Teaching kids vocabulary by referencing gansta rap songs. I give up.

They even think of dragging this garbage into my kids school and there's going to be one pissed off father in the administration building, and I won't allow that BS in my house. The dumbing down of America continues.....

The LGBT Community of Norman put it best ... I feel so marginalized right now ... Good grief ... Racism is alive and well in America. "Old Dead White Guy" my behind. And "they" wonder why I have the attitude I do.

Glad my kids are grown and out of school. No way would I tolerate my kids being taught that crap.

yo yo easy homie...

Yeah, I know ... thank GAWD I am an old white woman ... I have said for years that the middle class white American male is the most discriminated against species on the planet.

I gotta stop now or I am gonna get in trouble ...

I have very few "hot button" issues ... Just in case you hadn't noticed, this is one of them ...

If you look at their website, it looks pretty tame - though I don't want my kids spouting hip-hop anything around me. But what they showed on the segment this morning directly referenced gansta rap songs in the cirriculum, by popular thug artists. Wish I could find it, but Channel 6 doesn't have the story up on their website.

No sweat; with all of the indoctrination our kids are getting these days, it won't be but a few more generations and there won't be any left anyway.

I'll have to shut up too, lest I end up in the doghouse with you....
