Don't you love all the people, well 2 or 3 that post how much they love the poet? LOL No matter how bad the crap there is always someone who loves it and will get down on knees with mouth open at the most feeble attempt at their favorite poets try at writing something heart felt or witty.

Just look at Anders Serrano's "P ! ss Christ" Where he put a crucifix in a glass of his urine and calls it art and I am sure there are some that think its great art. LMAO I am not a religious person but I can not see this as art, nor can I see this poem as great.

Children are very much apart of the same community that adults are in, children do not live in a bubble from the world either, no matter how much people try to pretend they do.

I read his mother was a Catholic but he leaned to the Muslim side. I am sure those who think his worst crap does not smell will try to spin it.

Well when the "community" tries to teach your child something you do not believe in then just bow out and let them work their wonders.

The thing is I support not teaching religion or creation in public schools, But the same goes for not trying to indoctrinate them in to some far left thinking. Teach facts not ideas. Teach critical thinking not indoctrination.

So communities are responsible for what the kids do not their respective parents since they don't belong to them?

The community teaches your child every day they go outside in the world, there is so many things within our world that children are always learning about whether you like it or not....unless you keep your children locked in their rooms with no contact to the outside world.

Seriously? Do you honestly believe that? I am gonna call BS on your post, WE are all apart of a community unless you live in a very isolated part of the world with no connection to anyone else. You guys are seriously digging too deep into a very pointless non-issue.

It is amazing how paranoid you people are at the mention of "community." You must be terrified of your local community center.
