I think you make some good points in your article. I can't even disagree. Your article talks about the way to explain to kids about sexuality. Kids think simply and the first things they need to learn is respect for others. Other things come later.

Yes, you've certainly stated it's horseshit, but done nothing to prove that it is. Assuming you believe rape culture is a real thing and you're not just a troll, how the fuck does a song talking about how women "know they want it" ("it" being the dick) not promote rape culture? It's akin to saying "no means yes" and…
If you can't see the difference between an official censor suppressing freedom of thought and expression on behalf of an all-powerful governing body and a student union deciding that it doesn't want to be a platform for crass views, I can't help you.
Because I have fucking autocorrect on a foreign computer.
Except that it ISN'T censorship. It is banning the song from buildings which are used by all students, due to the fact that they consider it to be offensive material and they do not want to support it's message.
I gathered that the students chose to ban it from meeting areas...if the students don't want to hear it where they may be working on a project or resting between classes I don't see the problem.
It's not censorship. They're just choosing not to play a song they think is offensive in their buildings, which they have a right to do. They're not obliged to give airplay to anyone who wants it. They're not stopping other venues from playing it. They're not persecuting people who are listening to it.
The great thing about things that are true is that they're true regardless of whether or not some mouthbreathing basementdweller believes they are true!
I dislike people who go "Censorship is bad, no matter what!" I approve of censorship if the situation calls for it. It seems to me that Americans are the only ones who obsess over "censorship" and "liberty" and "FREE SPEECH". You gotta stop, it makes you sound whiny, everywhere else in the world has some restriction…
That's awesome. As a father, I already wasn't too keen on this song. But when I saw the VMA performance and the subsequent reaction, I had to speak my piece http://fatherlystuff.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-dads…
This is not an example of censorship. Read more books.
Unicorns are a myth. Rape culture is a thing.
I love Emma Thompson. That's all I have to contribute.
While I'm usually not a fan of banning any artform, I find that I'm kinda okay with this.

Jaden is just giving us the $cientology line, that public schools are part of a galaxy-wide conspiracy to hide from us the fact that we are trapped souls on the prison planet. Psychiatrist, psychologists and all drug makers are the local agents of this conspiracy and schools are their accomplices. No lie, this is what…
