Above all, lazy. Before the stupidity and complete ignorance of doing such a thing is laziness on the part of this imbecile. It took no effort, no imagination to copy and paste lyrics from obscene songs. Lazy, stupid woman. How ignorant and uncultured and just plain clueless do you have to be to think that something like this is acceptable? If you're so very clueless and unimaginative, then find a job where you don't subject others to your stupidity, especially other people's children.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A DeKalb County middle school teacher is apologizing to her students and their parents after the music teacher sent 6th graders home with an assignment filled with explicit lyrics.

Parent Crishana Wright said she was outraged when she saw the assignment.

"She's not in my household. She doesn't know how we run things. So, to push something she feels is appropriate, I have a problem with that," Wright told Channel 2’s Carl Willis.

DeKalb County schools also had a problem with the assignment.

They removed Bonnecia Williams from the classroom at Mary McLeud Bethune Middle School.

Williams has issued an apology to parents that reads: "At no time should students be subjected to this type of language at impressionable ages. Regardless of my best intentions, I failed miserably. I should have used better judgment."

The assignment featured lyrics from rapper Kodak Black from a song titled "Drownin."

Students were tasked with taking expletive-laden, violent and sexually suggestive lyrics and coming up with something more positive.

I saw that, and I was like, ‘My mom would be mad,’" daughter Kalani said.

"I probably would have asked, 'What were you thinking and don't think you that's something you should have gotten permission for?' She shouldn't have handed it out anyway," Wright told Willis.

The DeKalb County Schools superintendent weighed in, calling the assignment inappropriate, unacceptable and contrary to the district's standards.

Williams continued in her apology letter: "I know this letter alone will not erase the pain that I have caused. I will make sure this does not happen again. I accept full responsibility for my actions."

"I hate that she is no longer there, or whatever the case may be, but you're dealing with children's minds and you have to be cautious," Wright said.

There are way too many similar stories across the country of these lazy, clueless, worthless "teachers". It is apparent they need an extra year or two of instruction on what is appropriate to teach - but if they don't know that what are they even doing there. Tag some of this on the "administrators" for not hiring quality teachers with a true desire to educate students with the important subjects needed in life to succeed. A lot of worthless people in the chain.

From what I can see, it appears that most "educators" these days are more qualified to work the register at a CVS than to teach.

Totally, absolutely, positively NSFW

If there are kids around, mute and just read

Here is the song in question I believe, so you have an idea of what a teacher thought was good for little kids. The screen shot from the video probably says enough.

"I accept full responsibility for my actions."

What does this mean these days?

Responsibility is what you exercise so things go well. Blame is what you get when things go badly because you acted irresponsibly.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I don't know about the cashier thing. I have a retired teacher working for me. In 3 years, she has yet to submit an accurate time sheet.

At this point, I'm just happy that at least some of the parents reacted negatively to the assignment.

It means you gotta make a twitter post along the lines of "if anyone took offense, that's not what I intended."

Lazy teacher and lazy art, and I am stretching to call Rap art!

Drift warning
We have a local station here in Houston that plays a cross-genre format of music. You will hear Rod Stewart, Der Commissar and then some Gap Band right after each other.
They play all the real hits from late 70 more 80's and some 90's. Perfect to me as I grew up listening to all music in these decades.

When I hear Marvin Gay or some of the other great Black artists I laugh at the level of Black music today which seems to be exclusively Rap. Rappers cant hold a candle to the Black artists who paved the way for them to become millionaires now! Its a shame.

Stupid teacher!

Yes, "I accept full responsibity for my actions" is- when it comes out of the mouth of a leftist like this ignorant "teacher"- absolutely meaningless- completely and utterly wthout any meaning. They're just mouthing or typing words in a knee-jerk fashion, because that's what you're supposed to say after you get caught. They are utterly clueless and have no honor. No honor.

JALLEN, farm animals would have a better chance of comprehending the distinction between responsibility and blame, than this woman.

It seems to me she's not disagreeing with getting "removed from the classroom."

The precursors that led to this incident have been prevalent in the schools and teaching indoctrination training for some time now.

We are seeing this because someone thought it was a good idea and the kids need this to advance in academics - The NEA and MEA have been promoting this for 30 years or longer - this is never a good idea.

If we could read the whitepapers regarding how to school kids and what a bad influence parents on their kids that get presented at the annual NEA confabs, we'd be floored.

There are those who think what teachers say & do now are very progressive and giving the kids a way better way to enter the phases of their upbringing and life experience.

When the schools around us started re-naming holidays, parents hi-jacking PTA meetings with similar foolish drivel of progressivism, we home schooled both kids through high school. Both kids scored higher than needed on the ACT to enter college and one even scored high enough for a 50% tuition scholarship throughout.

The University they attended demanded a higher minimum ACT score by 3 points from home schooled kids to get accepted than what they would accept / admit from public school kids.

At least this teacher and her administrators did not try to defend this stupidity. But that teacher will likely surface somewhere else over time.

Useless fools, the whole lot of them.

I'm glad I don't have kids because I would be in constant fear that they could become infected with the kinds of cancers that these fucks promote.
