YET THEY CAN'T PLAY DODGEBALL ANYMORE?:

'Stripper' song played at school (Chicago Sun-Times, March 2, 2007)

A physical education teacher at Minooka Intermediate School was trying to use music to motivate kids during a jump-rope fund-raiser. But one of the songs wound up motivating a parent to anger.

During the southwest suburban school's annual Jump Rope for Heart fund-raiser, teacher Kyle Hasler had a CD mix of upbeat songs put together to play while the students did jump-rope activities.

The song "I'm N Luv (Wit a Stripper)" by T-Pain mistakenly was added to the CD, Hasler said.

I just listened to a clip of the clean version at the iTunes store and it is pretty bad. I can just image the content of the explicit version. In all, it is hard to get fired from a public school.

Oh, but if he'd played something like, oh, say, "The Cartoon Song" by Chris Rice, the principal would've had him frog-marched out of the building in a New York minute.

The story says that the teacher who played it has been a teacher for 17 years! What the heck is someone that old listening to crap like that? Sixteen year old suburban white kids who are too stupid to know better listen to that stuff.
