My son would like some information for a college assignment

[Jack Rabbit]

My charming younger son, who lives with me and GrandmaBear, would like to know if anyone can point him information about any group that is active in censoring music, specifically punk rock.

Thanks in advance.

1. Here's a site that has a list of pro and anti censorship groups

The American Family Association headed by Donald Wildmon is one group.

Don't forget the parental advisory labels and the V-chip/hardware lockout type of activity which does affect availability of music based on age.

4. I hate to say this, but if your son is in college...

...shouldn't he be doing his own research?

5. what's wrong with asking for other sources?

That is exactly what I would do if I were still in college.

6. No.

He's not asking anyone else to write his paper. That would be wrong. What he is doing is making full use of available resources. That is not wrong; in fact, it's a good thing.

8. I don't see any problem with it

All he asked for was leads to groups. To me this is analogous to asking a Librarian for help in finding books on a particular subject. He still needs to research those groups and to develop his own thesis with the facts he develops.

10. Yes, the PMRC

Get the young fella to google

"parent's music resource center"

It should keep him busy for a while.

12. He did

He didn't get a lot of information on them. Apparently they are no longer in business.

Thanks.

11. He has

Long before he asked for further assistance.
