A big problem some people overlook in disciplinary issues in schools is that faculty are too sensitive when dealing with normal teenaged behavior. Their mindset is to punish young girls, not help them. Punish, not help - that's school-to-prison in a nutshell. #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Cruelty is the point of the school-to-prison pipeline, not answering any real issue. #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Hip-Hop needs more empowerment. People wait like vultures for women artists to slip up just so they can put them down - no winning for them #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

I think it's hard to say that Hip-Hop "hates women" because all popular culture already does. I feel like this is a way to single Hip-Hop out and blame it for the existing misogyny in American/global culture #HipHopEdSHU

@Drob2Thereal You've got to go see one

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Great job on the video @timah_tou

What you said about learning real black history in schools is something everyone needs to hear. And what you said: they didn't *want* you to learn it, is most important

Nice job on the music background @JakeFord_5

The clips you used in the background were flawless too

And I appreciate how you related American experiences to a global outlook

Great outro too

Gotta wonder how many songs have to be made before we see real change in the world #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

My relationship with hip-hop has always centered around social justice - the first concert I went to included Public Enemy #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Usually, I don't meditate. Too on edge. #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Question about giving voice to the marginalized made me think to something I asked my brother weeks ago: when people think about Wu-Tang now, how many remember C.R.E.A.M by Method Man's chorus and not the realities of Deck's verse? Seems to get watered down with time #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Hip-hop gives voice to people, which is part of why I think schools can be resistant to embrace it #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

DJing at its core might be the most creative thing I've ever seen but it makes me sad to think people have reduced it to using some computers #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

It always gets me messed up seeing people like Kool Herc and Coke La Rock knowing they didn't get to reap much of the rewards of what they created #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Intro to the documentary made me remember how much I wish Dead Prez got bigger than they did #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

#HipHopEdSHU looking like it's gonna be the realest class I've ever taken

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Not enough has changed in the US school system in the past 200 years. Same old problems packaged in a new way #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

Hip-hop and capitalism just don't mix for me #HipHopEdSHU

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

First day of tweeting for #HipHopEdSHU...now I'm reminiscing of all the concerts I've been to trying to pick the best one

[Christian L. F. @ChrisLF01]

I see cogens as being better used as a preventative planning method rather than for correcting mistakes. Better to do most of the year right than look back halfway at a load of building issues. #EDST3510
