Teacher Suspended For Including Lil Wayne Lyrics In Homework Assignment

A South Florida eighth grade English teacher was suspended for asking students to underline examples of figurative language in Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot."

A South Florida eighth grade English teacher of The Charter Schools of Boynton Beach has been suspended after assigning Lil Wayne lyrics as part of a homework assignment to her students.

One parent, Vanessa Guzman, spoke with WPTV in Florida, regarding her disapproval of the teacher's assignment, which included directions to underline examples of figurative language in Lil Wayne's Cory Gunz-assisted "6 Foot 7 Foot" lyrics.

An excerpt from "6 Foot 7 Foot's" follows:

Two bitches at the same time, synchronized swimmers
Got the girl twisted cause she open when you twist her
Never met the bitch, but I fuck her like I missed her
Life is the bitch, and death is her sister

If that teacher really wanted to enlighten those children she should have chosen a song like "If I Ruled the World" by Nas or "Changes" by Tupac or for a more recent example "Same Love-" by Macklemore. But sheesh...when attempts to open kids' minds go wrong, this is why people turn to Glenn Beck style radical authoritarian conservatism and send their kids to fundamentalist Christian schools or homeschool because ANYTHING that contradicts their pure Family Values(TM) will turn their kids into pot-smoking, parent-disobeying REBELS!

On the other hand this is a charter school we're discussing here, so I guess that must be real telling.
