completely inappropriate. I have no problem with kids learning about different mythology systems and how they have impacted history and so on, but their lyrics are oddly complimentary towards this particular mythology. It would be like singing "and accepting Jesus can make a heart open" -- total bullshit that should be off limits for public schools.
