In reading the comments on that post, I saw a mention of a man who's been indicted on child pornography charges for editing a sexually explicit song into footage of him singing in front of children. Just editing. Not even actually singing the song in front of the children (which would still be insane).

Seriously, who's being protected here? The children at the school? They never heard the song. It seems the only people who are being 'protected' are the embarrassed school officials, who are pursuing child pornography charges to assuage their sense of pique.
