What is going wrong with our city???!! Round 2
Leave it to Glenn Beck yet again to bring national attention earlier to our city today after yet another atrocity...this one occurring at the National Conference of Black Mayors held and hosted here in Columbus by the absolutely inept mayor of our city, Michael Coleman.
As I stated in an email yesterday (and picked up by Mr. Beck - he had to actually confirm that the pdf document I had attached was official), this conference touted a "youth day" event to be hosted by rap artists ludacris and Mos Def. Several hundred public school kids were given the day off today and invited to attend this event. That's what makes this whole affair outrageous!!! Kids were invited to see the creme-de-la-creme of of filth-laced rap artists.
Glenn made mention of the scheduled affair on his nationally-syndicated program this morning in full-blown detail between 10:00-10:30. All of the local press was hot on his heels as Glenn was scheduled in to Columbus this evening for a sold-out event to discuss the Mifflin high school rape incident. A number of the local news stations carried audio segments of Mr. Beck's heated response to the mayor for inviting such an artist to a "youth day" event. Yet amazingly, not one local channel had camera coverage at this particular event today - an event that was to get underway at 11:15 a.m, and one that was thoroughly ripped on Mr. Beck's program...a great media morsel just waiting to happen!!!
Well the hundreds of kids at the event weren't to be disappointed. As was first reported tonight by a local fox station here in Columbus, some other foul-mouthed act performed (again - not a single local station had cameras available for the event today - now tell me how that's possible??). The act was the artist "dead-prez". According to the news report, this act played for nearly 30 minutes and had their sound pulled after the profanities started to roll, including "f... the police, f... the police." Yep, that's teaching our kids well - and all under the watchful eye of hundreds of young kids under the wings of hundreds of this country's mayors...AND THESE FOLKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LEADING OUR CITIES???? What is going wrong???
A very pissed off resident! C'mon folks, speak up! It's time to say enough is enough!

Dave,
I am sick to my stomach reading these posts. I realize they are old, but I had no idea that this took place. You're absolutely right. We sit around wondering what's wrong with our kids and here we have supposed LEADERS of our nation leading them into listening to stuff I wouldn't expose myself to, no less a child!!!
