[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 36077, member: 59"] "unfortunately it's a job. You play what they ask you to play even if it is not what you like." And I think that's sad. It boils down to economics again. If we all refused to pay for it, it would go away. Good for you refusing to dj any further events for your students. This is what I mean that we all have a responsibility to put our foot down. I see all the time parents who want their kids to be popular so they let them do things that are harmful and illegal. A neighbor of mine lets her 15 year old drink at family affairs and vacations. And now she wonders why her daughter goes to parties and gets drunk every weekend. This Mom is educated but it's more important to her that her daughter be popular. I know more about what many of these kids are doing than their own parents because I can read what they put on their myspaces. Back to the point, we ALL need to take a stand against this language. We have to start changing people's idea of what is acceptable. Many of us are not desensitized to this behavior, it's up to us to speak up. Nancy [/QUOTE]
