Common Core teaching thug life

[KAYA]

WTF?

In the second worksheet students had to find the common theme "twist" from words like "tornado," the 50's dance move and a rapper named "twista." The worksheet also references his song "Po-Pimp." "I don't send my son to school to learn these type of life lessons, especially at the age of nine," said Badeaux.

"I'm almost speechless, you know, because I feel like there's so much violence already. How are we going to stop any of it if this is what's being fed to them?," said Badeaux.

Here's a link to the story and video.

One of the two worksheets Brittney Badeaux's 9-year-old son was asked to complete for homework contains a passages explaining machine guns.

"I think it's appalling," said Badeaux. "Why my 9-year-old needs to know why a machine gun needs to be cooled down, or why holding the trigger will produce rapid fire, I don't understand."

I have no problem with machine guns. Thomas Jefferson was a violent thug. In any case, parents who home-school should receive vouchers to cover costs.

My point wasn't about machine guns. Did you actually read the article or watch the news report? How do you feel about the ganster rapper Twista and reference to his song "Po Pimp" being used as part of the common core lesson to 4th graders? That's what I was getting at.

Yes.

I think there's nothing worse than government-managed education. That said, I would probably teach 4th graders about gangster rap if I had the opportunity, but I would not tax anyone to fund my operation.

 

[KAYA]

Yes.

Introducing 9year olds to a gangster rapper like Twista with his vile lyrics and forcing parents to explain what a pimp is, is not appropriate elementary school material. Yet that was exactly the type of material presented via Common Core.

material presented via Common Core.

Common Core and all public education should be abolished -- vanquished, as far as I am concerned.

I respectfully disagree.

Maybe in your state.

I mean "should" as in, it would be a step in the right direction. I don't know if it's reality in any state.

I respectfully disagree.

Either you are misunderstanding me or you are being ridiculous. If you as a parent want to teach your child about pimping, twista, gangster rap, etc., then that's fine. But that type of subject matter does not belong in an elementary school setting as part of a reading lesson.

Po Pimp, hu? WOW!

made the mistake of looking them up. Glorifying drug use, glorifying working as a prostitute for a pimp and with such incredible one liners like:

But if the head the bonk c'mon suck a nigga dick

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/doordie/popimp.html

Oh, and their youtube had a "Parental Advisory" notice on it.

Just the sort of things the federal government should be shoving down the throats of elementary school kids!

YEAH FUD FAIL!!!!

Thank you for contributing some ration thought and perspective to this discussion!

Here is just a small sample of the lyrics to the song "Po Pimp", which Common Core if perfectly fine with introducing to elementary aged children.

Cause he's a pimp, he gotta be, full of that
M-O, N-E, but why?
Cause nigga be sportin nice cars and fancy clothes
Fresh jewels Girbaud flexin one five oh (chop chop)
Chop up that paper hoe, chop up that paper hoe
Watch where your lips go, caress my tip slow
To the tempo, instrumental
Real simple when you fuckin with a pimp doe

Me and Do or Die dig drinkin love potion
The word that was never said
Twisted be givin women d*ck in the bed, until they sick in the head
And if I ever leave whoever dead
They ain't trickin the Feds or spittin game but it's chicken and bread
Kickin them legs in the air like a playa do
Then belittle in a day or two
After words I'ma slay a crew
Now that's some pimp type shit that B-Low and AK'll do
Wearing gray and blue

I understand you feel certain subjects are "not appropriate" for elementary school, but I respectfully disagree. If you believe you know what's right for every elementary school, I respectfully think you are mistaken, and that you have no place dictating the curriculum of any school except one you might manage yourself.

 

[better-dead-than-fed]

Glorifying drug use, glorifying working as a prostitute for a pimp

These are choices that should be left to individuals.

Cause he's a pimp, he gotta be, full of that
M-O, N-E, but why?
Cause nigga be sportin nice cars and fancy clothes
Fresh jewels Girbaud flexin one five oh (chop chop)
Chop up that paper hoe, chop up that paper hoe
Watch where your lips go, caress my tip slow
To the tempo, instrumental
Real simple when you fuckin with a pimp doe....

Me and Do or Die dig drinkin love potion

Twisted be givin women d*ck in the bed, until they sick in the head
And if I ever leave whoever dead
They ain't trickin the Feds or spittin game but it's chicken and bread
Kickin them legs in the air like a playa do

What is the problem with this?

You are being ridiculous and absurd.

 

[better-dead-than-fed]

You are being a fascist. You have no place dictating the curriculum of any school except one you might manage yourself. I wish you would stop being a fascist! It's inappropriate.

 

[KAYA]

You are being fascist.

Because I am exposing flaws in a federally sanctioned education curriculum, and disagreeing with what I find to be your flawed logic, I am being fascist. I guess I had just better fall in line with your way of thinking or risk becoming labeled a fascist.

How selfish of me as a parent of two elementary aged children, to stand up against federal education standards such as Common Core and disagree with them introducing degenerate filth to children as part of a reading lesson. Guess I had better just shut up and take it if I don't want to be labeled a fascist by pseudo intellectuals on the internet.

 

[belian78]

You are being purposefully obtuse, and for no reason. By default you are saying that teaching about gang life in elementary school is completely appropriate, which is absurd.

*edited to say that was in response to bdtf, don't know why the quote wasn't there.

 

[RockEnds]

WTH? Money doesn't fall from the sky to fund this crap. This is funded by taxpayers at the local, state, and federal levels. Of course people should have a voice in it.

 

[Thor]

Oh look "better-dead-than-fed" is being a dick again... surprise, surprise, surprise... good thing he is still on my block list. Just hard to miss it completely when others include his drivel in their replies. A Federally funded troll?

KAYA, I agree, this Common Core crap has got to go....
