    Maybe you should do this assignment with your child if you have concerns.Make it a learning experience.I do see your concerns as valid.The kids learn about bitches and hoes on the playground and dont need that in a classroom.

    Quoted from gambit3113:

    Kids don't learn about bitches and hoes on the playground. Kids live in a world where bitches and hoes culture exists. Treating something you disagree with, find offensive, or simply don't like, as if it just doesn't exist and that your abstinence form of treating it will shield your child from anything is insanely naive. How about acknowledging the facts of the real world and allowing a child to learn organically about them as you instill a value system upon your child? Acknowledging that Crack That is a song that exists, and letting your child understand why you find it offensive and why it is misogynistic and vulgar and inappropriate might actually teach him something. Playing like it doesn't exist just teaches him to hide it from you b/c he thinks you don't know it exists.

    I agree with everything you said but the part about not learning on the playground.Thats where we discussed these things when I was a baby dinosaur.

    Quoted from gambit3113:

    1) The phrase is “toe the line.” As in walking up to the line and putting your toe right at the boundary. I feel that it is important to use every bit of context we have at our disposal to flush out a conversation centering on education and teaching.
    2) By your line of measure here, it is merely a tilt of the head to squint and find ourselves in a place where you don’t teach kids about WW2 and Poland and atrocities for fear that your kid is exposed to something offensive. Human history is full of offensive shit. It’s how we learn from the offensive shit in the past that shapes our future.
    3) Why did you even make this thread? It’s not an honest question. You don’t want opinions, unless they agree with you. What conversation are we having here? You’ve doubled and tripled and quadrupled down on this Weird Al-esque YouTube video being just short of assigning your kid to watch Anal Assassins 9 for Social Studies.

    Agreed,IBTL
