Playing music on their website is fine (but only safe music.)

I take that back.

What kind of radio station has songs, like, EVERYWHERE on their website?

I see nothing wrong with 9-year-olds singing "Big Girls Don't Cry." It's a pretty song.

But...

Why couldn't it be Hey There Delilah?

Also, the website idea was okay, as long as it's promoted on a Friday, where kids have the weekend and little to no homework (until middle school.)

I never said I don't have money problems I just don't dwell on them...and calling me a condescending bitch doesn't hurt my feelings in the least, but if it makes you feel like a bigger person go ahead. I think the problem is you are not as well informed as you think. Why don't you use your internet to look up something you can change rather then bitching about what you apparently don't know how to fix. thanks for your feed back and enjoy your day!

[tishstarr]

If you don't like it make your child bring a CD player with your choice of age appropriate music on it. Give your child a chance to make the right choice. Then if they don't the only person you can blame is your self. So I think you should seriously reconsider the person to blame.

Do you even know what this program is all about? Basically the schools get some cash and in exchange the kids who ride the bus are forced to listen to whatever they stream, including commercials targeted right at the kids.

Also, most schools don't allow you to bring cd players or other music players.

[tishstarr]

Well I don't know where you live ,but in my history of going to school, have they not allowed music players on the bus, on school campus might be different. Bottom line if you don't like what your schools and buses are doing with your children take them out and find a different school or home school. It really is not that expensive to home school, there are even government grants and such for families to be able to go to home school. but thanks for your point of view.

You act like we have a choice in schools. Where I grew up (and probably nearly everywhere else), schools are assigned--unless you can afford tuition or move residency, the public school you get is the one you're stuck with.

And don't get me started about home schooling. While there are some parents who can pull off home schooling, those parents are few and far between. For parents who can't, for those who don't already have mastery of the material, home schooling will be a disaster.

"If you don't like it make your child bring a CD player with your choice of age appropriate music on it."

Yeah because if I'm a parent in a poor school district I definitely have enough money to blow on a CD player rather than government-mandated third-party ad indoctrination.

[tishstarr]

Well I'm sorry to hear that your financial problems are that bad, I'll pray for your family. But just to let you know you can get a Cd player for under 5 dollars at most dollar stores.

[rjaguar3]

You fail reading forever, since I am clearly assuming a hypothetical situation ("if I'm a parent").

That said, what do you do about the people who are interested in silence instead? Clearly, those people really do have no alternative to the government-mandated third-party indoctrination, with which I disagree on general principle, regardless of the quality of said indoctrination.

[mygaffer]

What a condescending bitch. Frequent the dollar store a lot? They sure do have the best music selection.

Also, your solution for someone who disagrees with any school policy? HOME SCHOOLING. Emphasis mine, idiocy yours.

[tishstarr]

It must be nice to live in a place that can afford to have radios installed in their buses. When the PTA(or what ever your community did) put it up for vote at your child's school did you make it there and stand and say NO?

[jimmetrock]

Every "artist" shown on this slideshow has been documented. BusRadio has a long history of playing sole singers or groups known for their explicit lyrics. BusRadio thinks that bleeping out a drug reference or vulgarity makes a song "age-appropriate" for elementary school kids. That is moronic.

Most schools would never touch BusRadio.

[thunderbolt552]

While I oppose BusRadio, making your comments snidely by putting "artists" in quotation marks undermines your case.

[jimmetrock]

You make a valid point. Instead of changing my previous post I think this reply will express my agreement that a music artist is a music artist. Thanks for your post.

Wow who ever made this is stupid, busradio rox!This is coming from someone who listens to it every day!

[dannyokenny]

This BusRadio is OK if you want the government to raise your children. Who cares what you want?

Not BusRadio or what the National PTA wants.
