A Texas parent is facing backlash after reading out the lyrics of a rap song which contains multiple iterations of the n-word and not censoring the word in her speech, after a video of the parent went viral.
The woman, referred to only as "speaker seven, Sheryl," read lyrics from NWA "F**k Tha Police" unabashedly while claiming the song was part of the school's English curriculum, despite little to no evidence.
That Andre 3000 track by Kanye was dope but some of the unreleased songs from Donda are pretty badpic.twitter.com/Ev5Pp5jjis— Michael Harriot (@Michael Harriot) 1631319292
I had to put Straight Outta Compton on to cleanse my palate, but every time I switched back to the bird app, her video started playing again, interrupting my audio stream. It was intensely frustrating but also a tiny bit magical.— LC (@LC) 1631320082
I can't believe she JUST learned about N.W.A. in our year of the Lort 20 and 21.— VaxxedJay \ud83d\udda4\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 #BLM #PrideYearRound (@VaxxedJay \ud83d\udda4\ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 #BLM #PrideYearRound) 1631319575
Yo!!!! She downloaded some NWA lyrics and tried to front them off as CRT? Come on this can\u2019t be real life!— Justo Jay (@Justo Jay) 1631323430
What's most mystifying was before launching into her reading of the 1988 song, Sheryl actually referred to the verbiage in the song using censored language.
"We have the f-word 59, we have the n-word eight to nine times."
She then went on to inexplicably say the n-word at least twice.
'Angry Karens reading explicit rap lyrics' is my favorite music genre.— Negrolarity (@Negrolarity) 1631320976

I wonder if she know there's tons of protest poetry in both history and English. You think she's heard of Lenny Bruce or Bob Dylan.— Lorraine Gary (@Lorraine Gary) 1631352007
She waited until she got passed the n-word and then said you get the gist .— \ud83c\udf41\ud83c\udf42\ud83c\udf41\ud83c\udf42 (@\ud83c\udf41\ud83c\udf42\ud83c\udf41\ud83c\udf42) 1631319990
It\u2019s 2021 and broads are still shocked by NWA. Karen, we\u2019ve moved on a couple decades, keep up— Jax (@Jax) 1631326987
She then attempted to blame her recitation of racial slurs on the school district.
"This is in your curriculum—how do you defend that? Are you proud? Your curriculum. This is what you're teaching our kids. It's sick."
She also attempted to spin the moment by thanking the police of her town of Leander, Texas and shaming the school board.
"The same hypocrites sitting in front of us that hate you, still call you when they feel threatened. You cannot make this stuff up. And, of course, we are seeing the hypocrisy of the left all around the country."
She just dropping n bomb no problem— Dave (@Dave) 1631320566
I think she just like saying the n word— STAZAN (@STAZAN) 1631324494
She was waaaaaaaaay to comfortable saying the N word\u2026\nTripped lightly off the tongue for Miss Ann.— Alona Williams (@Alona Williams) 1631386647
She read all of that just to say the N word...— Yebba Background Singer Peppars (@Yebba Background Singer Peppars) 1631319574
She sounds so hurt.pic.twitter.com/AdQEAXkU4f— BlackXtian (@BlackXtian) 1631320444
The school district has not yet commented on Sheryl's extremely problematic speech, nor whether they have hired NWA to create the school's English curriculum based on their 1988 album.
