Portland school board OKs new hip-hop high school PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The Portland School Board has given its blessing to establishing a new charter high school in 2011 that highlights hip-hop music and culture. Proponents of the High School for Recording Arts Portland will spend the next 18 months strengthening their academic curriculum. The school board vote was 6-0 Monday night. While several board members said they had concerns about the school's academic curriculum, they also said they appreciated the school's potential to draw students who aren't being served in the current system. The new school's director, Erica Jayasuriya, says its mission is to prepare students to be successful in society while engaging them through the recording arts that include hip-hop music, dance, spoken word and art. The new school aims to serve about 200 students. Some of the comments on the news article are interesting as well. peace

look at the comments on the website,i cant believe how many people who think they know hip-hop are protesting against it ,dude,Hip-Hop is NOT thug life ,Hip-Hop is the form of ones life ,all the 4 elements balancing to the basic needs of a person life,if you dont know what hip-hop is then go live in under a fucking rock,i cant believe how many ignorant people say they know something but they do not have the slightest ideea of what they are talking ,Fuck off idiots

I don't really blame the haters. They are accustomed to certain truths about rap that they have formed through watching television and watching movies. They simply just arent immersed in the culture enough to know the difference between this, that, and the other. To them it's just loud music.

Typical day at hiphop high school:
"Today's lesson will be over the Rock the Bells tour, and your required listening will be "Fear of a black planet" from Public Enemy. Begin" Fuck that would be awesome.
Life's a bitch and I'm just along for the ride.
