Funny thing... the "spectacular" world is often at odds with the academic... We are, in English 240, sitting firmly in the academic realm and I find myself in a quandary. I really appreciate your specta-political posts (of the music vid variety) and they all have important socio-political messages. Now for the quandary...as your professor, I ask that you keep it PG...in other words carefully assess your audience. Does this "mute" certain voices... perhaps. Its something I'd like to discuss in class....that is that weird mixture of the "academy" and some potent political music videos...lets talk tomorrow.
I have therefore, as your professor, taken it upon myself to edit certain posts...not because the message is not worthwhile but because I am in this weird and wonderful place whereby I have to mediate between my students' voices and the conventions of the academy...As I said...lets talk

Thank you Freddie! I know it is not always easy to take the Professor stand, but I greatly appreciate it. Again one more reason I respect you!
Thank you
