Chicago parents are outraged that a substitute teacher taking over for a colleague on extended league gave a lesson plan and test on popular hometown rapper Chief Keef. The test covered such important topics such as the Bang 3 rapper's age, when he dropped out of school and the name of his song with another Chicago native, Kanye West.
Despite all of these seemingly innocuous questions and ties to the Windy City, parents were not enthused to hear that their sixth grade kids were learning about Sosa.
"I had never heard of him. But after careful research I found out that his music is about having sex, using the 'B' word, anti-police and supporting gangs," parent Katrina Sanders said via the Chicago Sun-Times.
The test was administered to a sixth grade music class at John Fiske Elementary School on Chicago's South Side. The project has been suspended by the school, saying it is not "age-appropriate material."
Most of the students probably already knew about Chief Keef and his music long before they took this test. While not all of his music is exactly a code to live by, it is always good to keep an open mind to all genres and styles that exist. Granted this is a sixth grade class, so extra caution may be the best course of action.
The parent quoted, Katrina Sanders uploaded a video of the test via Billboard and noted that her son also had to do an assignment on Chris Brown.
This is not the first time Chief Keef has had a problem with the government of Chicago. He went head-to-head with Mayor Rahm Emanuel who said that Chief Keef's proposed hologram concert would be dangerous to the city, despite his intent to raise money for those affected by violence.
