I define censoring as being the control of what people may say or hear, read or write, or see or do. Censoring music lyrics is not the answer, Censoring music should start in the home. Parents don't have to know all the songs that kids listen to, but they should have an idea of what type of music is promoting their children's interest. When I was growing up in my home my parents realized what type of music i listened to, but out of respect for them I try not to play it all the time. The famous rapper Heavy D, always quoted that, "It is up to the household for parents to control the viewing and listening privilages of their children.
I don't think they should censor music because it is common sense. The parents should be aware that there is a CD warning label. It's the parents responsibility to monitor what their children watch or listen to because music is not the only factor that affects teenage behavior, Politicians and certain organizations say that some artists are irresponsible with their influence and positions. They also say that lyrics in some songs are a bad influence on today's youth because it is vulgar or abrasive. and because of this it causes unruly behavior in
