In considering whether to allow a questionable performance at a school, we should look at the context as well as the content. What may be appropriate in high school may be completely inappropriate in an elementary school in front of an audience of 5-10 year old children. In addition, educators should be asking whether the proposed performance really does further the educational mission of the school. And,  educators, as with any other professionals, should be given the benefit of the doubt when they conclude that it does not.
