Chicago rapper Twista was a homework assignment and the ire of the racist right. |
The conservative media is working into overdrive over the school assignment at a primary school.
A concern mom finds out her son's homework had mentions of firearms, prostitutes and a mainstream Chicago rapper named Twista. The rapper is considered one of the fastest lyricists by Guinness World Records.
She reports this to the local news agitators. So I guess That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall got wind of the story and posted it on his website and here we go.
Another word vomit attacking President Barack Obama, embattled Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana), Republican governor Bobby Jindal, the hip-hop music industry, the video game industry and the Black community.
Obviously since this about Chicago rapper Twista, it's an automatic discussion about crime in the city, the president and Trayvon Martin.
The racial extremist will say that Twista is one of "Obama's sons".
Todd Starnes is a total dickhead. |
Vermilion Parish, Louisiana students were given a homework assignment that included words like “Po Pimp” and “mobstaz,” but school officials said the worksheet was age appropriate based on an education website affiliated with Common Core education standards.
“I try to instill values in my son,” parent Brittney Badeaux told Loserville. “My goal is for him to ultimately to become a great man, a family man, a well-rounded man. And now my son wants to know what a pimp is.”
Badeaux was helping her 9-year-old son with his homework when she heard him say the words “Po Pimp” and “mobstaz.”
“I couldn’t believe it at first – hearing him read it to me,” she told Fox News. “So I looked at the paper and read the entire article. It was filled with Ebonics.”
The worksheet, obtained by KPEL provided contextual examples of the word “twist.” It included references to tornadoes and the 1950’s dance craze – the “Twist.”
But it also included a paragraph about “Twista” – a rapper with the group Speedknot Mobstaz who performs a single titled, “Po-Pimp.”
“It was really inappropriate for my child,” Badeaux said. “He doesn’t’ know what a pimp or mobster is.”
She also took issue with the school sending home a worksheet that intentionally misspelled words.
The racist right fumed up over a school assignment about Twista. Whether they like it or not, the rapper is a part of American history. He is the world's fastest lyricist. |
Vermilion Parish School Superintendent Jerome Puyau told Loserville the “po-pimp” assignment was aligned to a fourth grade English Language Arts standard for Common Core.
“Out of context, this word is inappropriate,” Puyau said. “However, within the Common Core standards, they do want us to discuss real world texts.”
The Common Core State Standards initiative is a plan devised by the nation’s governors and backed by the Obama administration to set a uniform standard for grades K-12. In practice, it will ensure that every child in the nation reaches the same level of learning. So far, 45 states have agreed to use Common Core – including Louisiana.
“The Common Core curriculum, like it or not – we have to make our students successful,” the superintendent said. “We know that in New York proficiency in state testing was very low. We foresee that our students will not be successful unless with align everything to the common core standards.”
And that’s why fourth graders were learning about pimps and mobstaz.
“We want them to read real world texts,” he said. “We know they will go into a department store and see an album with that language on it. We know that will happen. But is that something they should be reading in the schools?”
Puyau conceded the actual paragraph in the assignment was not appropriate for 9-year-olds – even though Common Core-affiliated education site said it was.
“We are going to edit and audit everything that comes through,” he said. “In southwest Louisiana we do have high morals. We’re going to utilize everything that we have to ensure our parents that what they are reading is appropriate to grade level.”
So I guess if Ted Nugent was included in the homework assignment, would you hear a peep out of this woman or this dickhead Starnes?
Twista is born Carl Mitchell. He is an American rapper. He hails from Chicago, Illinois and is known for his Chopper style of rap and for once holding the title of fastest rapper in the world according to Guinness World Records in 1992, being able to pronounce 598 syllables in 55 seconds.
In 1997, after appearing on Do or Die's hit "Po Pimp" produced by The Legendary Traxster, Twista signed with Big Beat/Atlantic Records and debuted with that label with Adrenaline Rush and formed the group Speedknot Mobstaz in 1998.
His 2004 album Kamikaze went to the top on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart after the success of his Billboard Hot 100 single "Slow Jamz".
Twista appears on Atlantic Records.
