Time to Talk Back.
Fischler, Michael L.
Phi Delta Kappan, v73 n8 p634-35 Apr 1992
Describes a college counselor's efforts to reason with a student singing a Guns and Roses' song vilifying African Americans and homosexuals. Many individuals lack the historical knowledge, concern, or empathy to appreciate the destructive power of such lyrics. First Amendment rights are threatened by the academic community's silent assent to bigotry. (MLH)
