A DeKalb County middle school teacher is apologizing to her students and their parents after the music teacher sent 6th graders home with an assignment filled with explicit lyrics.
Parent Crishana Wright said she was outraged when she saw the assignment.
“She’s not in my household. She doesn’t know how we run things. So, to push something she feels is appropriate, I have a problem with that,” Wright told Channel 2’s Carl Willis
DeKalb County schools also had a problem with the assignment.
They removed Bonnecia Williams from the classroom at Mary McLeud Bethune Middle School.
Williams has issued an apology to parents that reads:
“At no time should students be subjected to this type of language at impressionable ages. Regardless of my best intentions, I failed miserably. I should have used better judgment.”
The assignment featured lyrics from rapper Kodak Black from a song titled “Drownin.”
Students were tasked with taking expletive-laden, violent and sexually suggestive lyrics and coming up with something more positive.
