Anytime "Killing in the Name" comes up, I have to tell the story of the time I was bringing my oldest to his second week of kindergarten and he requested this song, which was his favorite at the time.

I realized I may have created a problem for his teachers when he started shouting along with Zack "FUCK YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" We had have a little talk about not using adult words at school and how his kindergarten teacher really wasn't the problem with the system.

His second grade teacher, though... My son's anti-authoritarian ~~steak~~ streak served him well, there.

Mmm anti-authoritarian steak.

Sounds delicious. Or not. It doesn't care what you want.

When I was in grade 2 my bullies would always make noise in class and our teacher forced the whole class to write lines because of it. I felt this was a deep injustice on two fronts and decided to resist, refusing to write anything.

This kicked off a series of events that lead to me being brought in front of school board officials who made me sign a document stating I wouldn't cause any more problems for the school. I merrily signed it and then once again refused to accept punishment for something I didn't do, and they tried to kick me out.

For some reason the school board was surprised to learn that 8 year olds cannot form a legal contract.

My kids too, except it was Lonely Island's "Threw it on the ground".

It was one of the rare occasions I broke my "Don't laugh when they do bad things" and it encouraged my child to do it as much as possible.

My parents didn't like it AT ALL when I played that album's CD as a teenager. 😁

Didn't CBS and The Late Show have the same issue?
