And I thought they were all for 2nd amendment rights? “Mama I just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s
dead…”

Went and looked at the linked article. I noticed the line that was edited out was the like about killing a man. So where do we find out if it was the fact that the song starts and ends with murder that was the problem, we know one person complained about sex, but what other complaints where there? Also should I be worried about the fact that “The whole attitude of the song just seems to fit our class" Because I would like to point out it is a song about a defiant killer on his way to his execution.

And forget about...well, anything from Hollywood -- god knows there's been at least one gay man key to virtually anything to do with cinema, modern or not. Snark aside, though: how sad a message they are sending their gay students. "If you're gay, even if you're successful and popular, we'll still reject you and your work simply because you are gay." Though, in fairness to Wasilla, my high school in KS is likely no better...
