In music we have to do a project on a rock band. So one of the groups chose Queen and you have to play a song with the project. So they chose Bohemian Rhapsody. But the teacher said it was too innapropriate. Honestly isn't this going too far. The stuff we read in English is worse.

Open Discussion is thataway.

Anyways, schools have arbitrary rules on this stuff. Shock?

My school made national news when they suspended 3 girls for saying "vagina" in a poetry reading of The Vagina Monologues. I mean, really, it's called The VAGINA Monologues.
"I like cigarettes, Mrs. Taggart. I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind-and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression..."

Why rock? Stupid white teachers generalizing and forcing kids to like white music.


Stupid pokesamrus for stereotyping :^D

How is Bohemian Rhapsody all that "inappropriate?" Just because Mercury makes a reference to Satan in one line?

...that song is about a whore.

I've had teachers that:

1. Throw shoes (a band teacher)
2. Tell you that you're going to grow up to be absolutely nothing
3. that don't actually teach, they just give you a booklet and say "learn this" while not knowing anything about the subject at hand
4. I had one french teacher who was male and wore a thong (I saw it, not making this up. :|).  He still lived with his mother, and he was at least 35ish.
5. Kick you out of their class if you could teach the course better than them.


For your rock band project, pick a band called Primus, and do the song "Here come the Bastards", or "Bob's Party Time Lounge".  Basically anything by them is bound to get you suspended.

or you could do The Hot Dog Song (though it's not rock).  64 times man.  64.


What songs by Queen would be deemed appropriate even? :|

Songs by queen that I know:
Another One Bites the Dust
Wii Will Rock You
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
(The above three was our halftime show for Junior High)
Killer Queen
Bohemian Raspody
Wii are the Champions

You can do "Wii are the champions" or "Wii will rock you".

That song is quite hard to play. Just play Flash.

But it would be awesome if someone chose The Mars Volta.  I wonder if they have ever made a song that isn't disturbing in some way ^_^

Bohemian Rapsody? Inappropriate? WTF?

BTW, can't spell. :P

No, see, I would have done "Kiss my Ass" by Ted Nugent, JUST for them denying Bohemian Rapsody.
