Brookfield teen's CD ranted against principal; he's suspended

Brookfield teen's CD ranted against principal; he's suspended

(Published Friday, November 7, 2003 08:58:45 AM CST)
Associated Press

BROOKFIELD, Wis. -- A high school honor student who created a rap compact disc with rants about drugs and sex faces possible expulsion over a lyric that officials say threatened the principal.

Mark Cerutti, principal of Brookfield Central High School, said he first became aware of the CD Oct. 29 and suspended 15-year-old Sashwat Singh later that same day.

"Content is one part of the rationale for the action that's being taken," Cerutti said.

Administrators said the disc amounted to "gross disobedience or misconduct," which would put it on a par with a bomb threat, arson or bringing guns to school.

...

The rap about Cerutti, who came to the school at the start of the school year after working in Madison schools and as a consultant, suggests if he doesn't leave Brookfield, Singh will "beat your ass down." It also uses sexually explicit slurs to describe the principal.

...

Andrew Franklin, the teen's attorney, said the boy was simply "expressing himself" and the school has no right to discipline him.

"They're kind of like love songs and fantasies," he said. "It's a long list of outrageous things that he throws out there. I think it's an attempt to make him look like a deviant or a threat."

"Nothing about this is inherently more threatening than an Eminem CD," he said.
