Wasilla High School Principal Bans Bohemian Rhapsody Because Freddie Mercury Was Gay

Wasilly Wabbit

Abe Lincoln must go, then.

That is insane. This is 2011 isn't it? Geez

Gee, I always thought Bohemian Rhapsody was a GREAT piece. Who gives a crap who Freddie Mercury slept with.

I don't get it. Why is the anti-gay principal using a picture of Elton John on his homepage?

what this douchebag principal going to ban next "we are the champions" (LOL)

OMG! I can't believe this. What is happening in this country? I am so glad I no longer live in Wasilla. As a parent and grandparent of children who played in school bands I can't believe this numbnut would just throw away all their hard work for such a stupid reason. Of course these are the same people who elected Palin for mayor...a woman who wanted rape victims to pay for their own rape kits. I rest my case.

I wonder if Wasilla High has any computers, because, after all, Alan Turing was gay.

On a related note, someone should inform Sarah Palin of this little factoid before she tweets again.

The Wasilla High School Principal is a DillHole.

It is good to see that even in death, Freddy manages to stir the pot and expose homophobia. Good music is good music, it will never fade. A legend is a legend and will never die, however do not forget that the man is always better than the legend.

No surprise there. After all, it's the home town of Sarah The Shrike, Harpie-in-Chief, Shrew-What's-Not-in-Charge.

He wasn't even gay, he was bi.

Not that it matters, who the fuck cares? It's a great song.

I wonder what it is like to want to force people to live how I see fit? Most of the worlds problems do not stem from people not helping others ,they stem from those who simply cant "for what ever weakness" just live their own lives and allow others to live theirs.

Someones in the closet.

What is the difference between gay republicans and gay democrats? A very sturdy closet door. Get over yourself Dwight.

Play it loud and play it proud. If I lived there I would put a megaphone on the top of my car and drive around with it cranked up to the max.

This is only news to you libturds because it's in Wasilla; Palin country, and you libturds are scared shitless of Sarah Palin.

What a bright and shining light of education! What about Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci? I've heard rumors!
What about Lot and Sodom? Remember, Lot was willing to offer his virgin daughters to the mob to be gang raped rather than let them have the 'angels' of the lord. The angels being somewhat protected, I don't think there would have been an issue.
We have to stop this gay shit in its tracks and the Republicans and evangelical preachers are the right men for the job. Look at their track record! Which party has raised the consciousness of the public regarding sex between men? It's to their credit they're willing to hang out in Airport bathrooms and have meth delivered to their hotel room. You need to be willing to walk the walk and talk the talk. Praise be, do I hear an Amen in Wasilla.
By the way, those who object too much are worth watching!

Anyone that can perform that song without butchering it is surely talented and shouldn't be limited by people guided by fear, hate, or a limited capacity to understand art.

There should be a seperate section for this kind of ironic cultural domestic news, other domestic news, and world news.

Just my 2-cents people.

Love Love Love

This is totally wrong.

Edward Abbey said ... “No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets.”

What small minds.

This coming out of the Meth lab capital of the US. They've just got to protect those family values you know.

Yes because we all know if you listen to a tune written by, played by, or sung by a homosexual - you will contract The Gay. Yeeesh, Wasilla - proudly becoming the stupidest place in the US

I think this guy has left teaching and opened a used truck dealership " Homo Hatin' Half Ton Motors"

Wasilla HS Symphonic Jazz Choir: "So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye?"

2011 and this is even an issue, that's just pathetically sad, I give my lil nephew alot of shit about the " male jeggings" and crappy music his generation is putting out, but thankfully their generation is much more tolerant and understanding then our generations were, and this should be the last generation that will have to put up with this bullshit... P.S. FREDDY WAS A FUCKIN GOD AMONGST MORTALS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, WTF?? As in why is this headline and clipped section spun here like this? Did anyone actually read the rest of the story or just took the hysterical headline from here? He banned the song due to a parental complaint and then decided to put it back in after the kids in the jazz choir protested, but is leaving out the part about "killing a man"....

As a gay man, I look out for this kind of stuff too, but this seems more about Wasilla, Alaska and by extension, the much-loathed Sarah Palin and her ilk or that the principal looks vaguely like Elton John, rather than some injustice due to a banning of a song with a gay authorship. Did I miss something obvious here?

So, if a parent called and told Mr Probasco they had learned one of his (Mr Probasco) ancestor's had been gay, Mr Probasco would resign?

This is simply ridiculous.

Too bad they don't make them like Freddie Mercury anymore more. . .

and who the fuck is that Probasco twit anyway?

He looks (and most probably is) gayer than Elthon John if you ask me!

[current background noise: Bohemian Rhapsody]

So much for so called educator. Will ban next the books of Walt Whitman after all he was gay also.

The wave of ridiculous controls students are subjected to in the aftermath of incidents like Columbine and Virginia Tech are alarming. Instead of administrators taking responsibility for situations their own lies and neglect helped to create, they instead subject the students to Orwellian controls.

My god, homophobes are stupid.

Who's next? Whats next? Are we going to censor creators and performers based on sexuality? Religion?Politics?Race?Ect.? Art is what sets our species apart. To deny its sharing only serves to enslave and diminish us. It is an act gainst reason itself. Case in point, check out Hitlers Germany.

I was hoping Sarah Palin was the only bigoted jerk who lived in Wasilla.

Why is it so hard for these people to just "Live and let live"? Why do they feel they have to impose their prinicipals on everyone else?

This reflects so poorly on the Palin family.

Bohemian Rhapsody is crap anyway. A kind of anti music. If music has no groove it ain't music.

funny part is...Probasco lookz as queer as a $3 bill :)

can you say "Douche-Bag" ?

Everbody know dat if you hear Freddie sing datsyou catches da gay through da airwaves.

Sarcasm/off

I'd probably have a bone to pick with gay people too if I looked like a redheaded Elton John. That being said this guy is still pretty lame.
