Biden administration thinks children should listen to wildly misogynistic songs

Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona has been a disaster since he’s been in office.
Public schools across the country have done a horrible job, as many students don’t achieve minimal proficiency levels in math, reading, and science. One would think that scholastic achievement would be Cardona’s main concern heading into the new school year. Yet, on Tuesday, the first day of school for many students around the country, Cardona prioritized celebrating the “50th anniversary of hip-hop,” posting a list of some of his “favorite” rap hits on X, formerly Twitter.

In addition to ignoring the education crisis, or perhaps posting a strategy that would help these struggling students in school, Cardona’s lack of gravitas was amplified by the fact that lyrics in the songs in his list glorified violence, illicit drug use, crime, misogyny, sexual promiscuity, and lewd and lascivious sexual behavior. They were so awful that Cardona would later delete the post from X.
Cardona’s “D.O.P.E. (Defense of Public Education) Bus Tour Playlist” included 10 songs. Consider just some of the lyrics of the songs on a list that the country’s secretary of education felt were appropriate for school-aged children.
The first song, “Juicy,” was a 1994 hit by the Notorious B.I.G. (aka Christopher Wallace) off the album Ready to Die. B.I.G. was a 1990s hip-hop star who was murdered in 1997.
The rap begins with the words of a role model: “F*** all you hoes, get a grip motherf*****.” The song chronicles Wallace’s rise to fame from a life of poverty and crime. He raps about “smokin’ weed” and how he became a rap star. B.I.G also raps about how he dropped out of high school — a great choice by the nation’s Secretary of Education.
“Juicy” was tame compared to the next song on his list, Big Pun’s “Still Not a Player.” Here are the lyrics to that song:
I don’t wanna be a player no more,
I’m not a player, I just f*** a lot.
But Big Punisher still got what you’re lookin’ for,
For my thug n*****, for my thug n*****,
(Don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be)
I don’t wanna be a player no more
I’m not a player, I just f*** a lot
But you know Big Pun and Joe still down by law
Who’s down to f*** tonight?
The rap also mentions outlandish behavior and sexual acts, such as “running trains.” I guess Cardona forgot the Biden administration’s dedication to third-wave feminism. Here are the lyrics:
We go back like PAs and wearin’ PJs,
Now we reached the peak age, runnin’ trains for three days,
Who wanna ride? It won’t cost you a dollar.
Whether soft or harder, of course you still gonna holla,
Mama, I’m thick, huh? I’ll rip my p**** through your hooters,
I’m sick, you couldn’t measure my d*** with six rulers.
Hold up, chula, I’m all about gettin’ loot,
But I’ll knock that boot if you out to get koofed.
Another hip-hop artist who was gunned down and murdered, Tupac Shakur, made Cardona’s list with “California Love.” The song featured another hip-hop artist, Dr. Dre, who produced a rap song in 1988, titled “F*** tha Police.” Here are some of the lyrics from “California Love”:
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest,
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex.
We in that Sunshine State where the bomb-a** hemp be,
The state where you never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money-making-machines servin’ fiends.
And:
Out on bail, fresh out of jail, California dreamin’
Soon as I step on the scene, I’m hearin’ hoochies screamin’
Fiendin’ for money and alcohol, the life of a Westside player
Where cowards die and the strong ball
Only in Cali where we riot, not rally, to live and die.
Putting the glorification of marijuana, violence, and going to jail aside, doesn’t the Biden administration make a concerted effort to champion gender equality and women’s rights? So Cardona thought a song referring to women as “hoochies” was appropriate?
I’ll finish with one more of the songs on Cardona’s list. “The Next Episode,” featuring Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, was a popular hit from the album 2001, released in 1999. Here are some of that song’s lyrics:
And when they bang this in the club, baby, you got to get up
Thug n*****, drug dealers, yeah, they givin’ it up
Lowlife, yo’ life, boy, we livin’ it up
Takin’ chances while we dancin’ in the party fo’ sho’
Slip my hoe a 44 when she got in the back do’
B****** lookin’ at me strange but you know I don’t care
Step up in this motherf***** just a-swingin’ my hair
B**** quit talkin’, crip-walk if you’re down with the set
Take a bullet with some d*** and take this dope on this jet
Out o’ town, put it down for the Father of Rap
And if yo’ a** get cracked, b****, shut your trap.
These are just some of the lyrics of the songs that the secretary of education of the United States recommended school-aged children listen to. At a time when students can’t read or do math, when there are among the most murders, assaults, and other violent crimes as ever before in the nation’s history, the person responsible for educating the youth of the country encouraged children to listen to songs promoting violent crime, drug use, assaulting females, and calling women “hoes” and “hoochies.”

We can hope voters will have common sense and remember this during the Biden administration’s 2024 reelection campaign. Cardona’s judgment, or lack thereof, is indicative of how problematic the Biden administration is to the country’s welfare.
If you believe men should beat women, call them “hoes” or “hoochies,” and support rampant drug use and violence, then vote for the Biden administration. Otherwise, if you are normal and think the above-mentioned things are vile, ensure Biden isn’t reelected. Because with fools like Cardona in charge of educating youth, it’s no wonder today’s children can’t read, write, or do math.
