On the first day of school, a Shadle Park High School teacher handed out lyrics to his students from the Blue Scholars song “Commencement Day.” The Blue Scholars are a widely known hip hop group based out of Seattle and recently performed at this summer’s Capitol Hill Block Party. The teacher has since been put on leave and school authorities are investigating the situation further.
A snippet of the lyrics from the song:
Brother sister please don’t believe the bullshit they said.
Fuck the pledge of allegiance and arrogant teachers
