A Taylorsville, North Carolina teacher has been suspended for showing
Macklemore's marriage equality anthem "Same Love" to students, the Charlotte Observer reports:
Alexander
County Schools Associate Superintendent Jeff Peal told the Taylorsville
Times: “At West Alexander Middle School, there was an inappropriate
video shown in class, outside the bounds of the curriculum that called
for disciplinary action last week.”Peal didn’t name the teacher in the article.
Peal also told the Taylorsville Times (which warned that "the song
has a theme that is inclusive of homosexual values") that the teacher
will be back in school this week.
Macklemore's video, as the paper notes, was ranked 13 on Billboard
this week, is the first song about same-sex marriage to hit the top 40,
and has been viewed more than 78 million times on YouTube.
