Student Objects To Adult Music On School Bus

MANSFIELD, Texas -- A North Texas fourth-grader said she doesn't like what she hears when she steps onto the school bus each morning.

Now, she's teamed with her mom to try to get the school district to change its radio station policy.

"There was music playing and I didn't really want to listen to it," Danielle Daulton said. "It has cuss words getting beeped out and things I don't need to hear when I'm 10."

Daulton knows she'll have to deal with new challenges every day in school, but when she gets on the bus, she hates dealing with the song "My Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas.


The fourth-grader is in the Mansfield Independent School District. She says some of the music the bus driver plays for kindergarten through fourth grade students is offensive.

"I got tired of it so I told my mom," Daulton said.

One of the stations approved by the district for bus trips, and a station Danielle feels is too mature for her ears is 106.1 Kiss FM.

Mansfield ISD is now reviewing all of its approved radio stations and, for the next few days, Kiss FM will not be played in the buses.

"If they're not going to play good music, I'd rather him play no music at all," Daulton said.

The district says it will finish the radio station review in the next few days.

Hey, anything is better than KHKS, even the nasal dronings of Greg Knapp
 
"It has cuss words getting beeped out and things I don't need to hear when I'm 10."

Yeah, but now all the other kids will hate you when the bus driver has no other choice than Lite of K-luv!!!!

No 10 year old talks like that... Mom's a good script writer!

My daughter talks like that, and is 10. No script, just good upbringing. She knows the difference between good lyrics and hate speech / sexual innuendo, and even tells her friends she doesn't want to listen to that station. Farts 24/7 would be better than some of the music on KHKS.
 
My whole thing is...When we were is school...The only music we had on the bus came from the walkman we brought on. Is it really necessary to have music on a bus ride to and from school? Can kids now a days not go 10 minutes without music being played? They just need to ban music on the buses all together. It never should have started in the first place.

Well said and congratulations on raising a smart young lady.

Yeah, the Ticket would be better for the kids than KHKS. ;-)

Unfortunately, kids today have been brought up to expect the world to provide them wuth non-stop entertainment and the myriad other things that help them get through the day. Gone is the time when students riding the bus sat quietly and carried on a conversation, and when they arrived at school the rest of the day was devoted to learning--radios and such weren't allowed on campus. Now it's not sufficient that they be baby sat for eight hours, the entertainment itself must be a point of contention. The solution is simple--take the damn radios off the buses, or would doing so deprive someone of his/her inalienable right to musical satiation going to/from school. (Remarks made aside and will probably get zapped, but I said it, anyway.)

How dare you take away a 10 year old rights away from them!!!!

What are you some Right Wing Fascist??? I mean they let 12 year old girls go to abortion clinics without parents permission. You are totally out of control. YOU MUST BE STOPPED :)

How dare you force the kids to listen to a station that plays music they are offended with? Here’s the dunce cap, now go sit over in that corner facing the wall, and remain quiet for the rest of the day. :)

I agree school buses shouldn’t have radios, beyond allowing kids to bring portable walkmans with headphones. I did that when I was in high school, and no one complained.

Well Teens and adults feel they have to have cell phone on every where they go.
So the young kids practice what they see in different form. Most school bus runs only last 2 hours. The drivers can go without the music during that time. They have enough noise as it is,plus trying to be safe.
 
reality check

When is the last time you guys were on a public school bus? Between the bus noise and the noise from the other kids you are lucky to hear the kid sitting next to you, and you sure can't hear music from the cheap system a school district would put in a bus. The chances or you being able to identify lyrics are about the same as old Mrs. Brown believing that your dog ate your homework. That's the reason kids bring their own music, it's the only thing they can hear. Of course they have to turn it up so loud to hear it that they will be deaf by the time they are 25 but as the song goes "every port of refuge has its price"

When I rode the bus, one or two kids had a portable 8-track player
but the driver usually told them to turn it off. If the weather was
bad, the driver would listen to the news but it could only be heard
at the front of the bus. Once in a while on a nice day, we could get
him to turn on music on the way home but that was in high school.

As for having to listen to KHKS on the bus - I would complain too.
That is just plain cruel!
 
Can you imagine ----

The controversy that would arise if some bus driver played KLTY on the bus? It seems that graphic sexual lyrics are perfectly acceptable, but if anyone dared to play something Christian - that would be intolerable.

Robert - I think they should compromise on KEOM.

I agree completely. Hell, I didn't even know they had
AM/FM radios on school busses,and I have two kids!.
That's ridiculous! They don't need to be listening
to the damn radio going to and from school. No
Ipods or cell phones either. Just sit down and
shut the ** up, or talk quietly! It's usually no
more than a twenty minute ride anyway. They need to
deal with it. When I rode the bus to school, we
didn't have radios on board to play music...you
talked to your friends, you didn't sit and chat
on your cellphone, or play with your Gameboy
or Ipod, or check your messages on your pager.
It's so out of control. Kids aren't kids anymore.
Am I showing my age? :) Yeah, I know, I'm a grumpy
old fart.

taking this story at face value and not assuming her mother put her up to it or that there was some great conspiracy to make her say something she didn't really think, I can only say thank God there is a little ten year old girl out there with this kind of sensitivity to the culture war in which we are engaged who is bold enough to speak up and bring about change. I'd be very proud if my daughter were to make such a public stand for decency.
