It does not have to be a music class it could have been a demonstration of talent within a
classroom setting. Its funny though school is supposed to be about learning and the whole
concept of learning how to learn. Seems education only wants people to learn certain things.
This is another tempest in a teapot. That is except for the fact that even the schools are
now heavily engaged in stifling free speech.
When I was a kid it was not that much different though, I once did an essay comparing Hitler
to Roosevelt and it caused quite a stir. When finished I submitted it and the teacher at first
was upset until he read it in full, I got somewhere near ninety percent but the principal was
outraged. My opinion should be tempered with the current view of society that was a remark
made by an educator. I laughed and asked if he was interested in his own opinion or the
opinions of others if so why have essays written at all.
In this case the education system is the one who should be under question they are reacting
to their own belief system and not in accordance with the principles of education.
