@Rock Parent

While I totally agree with you in principal that parents should be able to decide what a child listens to, that's an ideal that I'm not sure can be lived up to.

The only way that could be practically enforceable would be if the camp made a list of ALL the music that would be taught and listened to in the camp and then ENFORCED a ban on any music not on that list. Really?

(And these kids probably have internet access at the camp, so controlling what the listen to would be next to impossible).

That sounds like the exact opposite of what rock is supposed to be about.

@Rock Parent, I don't mean to be too contentious with you - I get where you're coming from.

Actually, I think the problem is that there's a lot missing to this story. What else did the campers listen to? What's the overall environment like? Does the camp teach values of mindless rebellion and obscenity or rock as an expression of social consciousness? Are other parents complaining? Is there pattern here or is this a one-off case? Did the kid get the cassette from the camp staff or from another kid?

That one kid brought home one cassette that one parent didn't like really doesn't tell us anything.
