The parents´ homes responsible for this hilarious, sad story should be searched for copies of the fairy tales books they read to their kids. In addition, their kids should be questioned about the TV programs they are allowed to watch.

Any evidence of Bugs Bunny, Elmer, Tweety, Tom&Jerry, The Grimms´ fairy tales and others should result in public discussion about their being kicked out of their jobs.
My, I can remember tons of cruel acts as well as suicidal tendencies and references to the devil in all of them.

And let´s not forget certain passages in the Holy Bible that aren´t exactly beneficial to a young person´s mind.

But then again, this would be an intrusion into their privacy.

I guess for these folks, Mahler 8 is off-limits, too.

As well as Franz Liszt:

They're thinking... They're thinking that this will be a way for them to show how much they "care" about their kids and ease their guilty consciences for ignoring their parental responsibilities most of the time. With this "issue" they can flail about in public and blame this music teacher for all that is wrong with their kids instead of taking responsibility for themselves. :roll:
Man, I wish I thought you were right, but I know quite a few parents from my church (not nearly a majority, but a spasmodic and demonstrative minority) who are JUST like this -- and believe me when I tell you they do not think. Actually, the one really positive thing I will say about the parents to whom I refer is that they are VERY devoted to their children. They spend time with them, read stories -- generally some of the better parents in most ways. But they'll listen to some radio preacher, and whatever goes into their ears comes out their mouths. Science? THE DEVIL!! ALL OF IT!! Movies? THE DEVIL!! ALL OF 'EM!! Anyone not from the US (Red states, of course)? THE DEVIL!! ALL OF 'EM!! It's almost as though they take pride in being more willing than the next person to close their minds to any sort of question or examination of their beliefs. As they see it, to question, after all, shows a lack of faith. So they spout inanity after inanity, with never a critical thought.

I wonder why it never occurs to them that God gave 'em that big grey organ behind their eyes for a REASON!! :EVIL:

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
