Oh Ke$ha

Okay, I know I keep harping on Ke$ha, but I just read an article about her in a magazine.  Apparently, she’s a certified genius whose I.Q. is over 140 and got a 1500 on her SATs.  AND she was in IB.  I can’t decide if that makes me want to respect her or makes me even more disappointed in her.  I can totally appreciate that she’s so involved in her music and everything that she left school to pursue her dreams, but it’s just so…indescribably sad to me that she wastes her time singing about the things she sings about, when she has the potential to really make an impact on the lives of young girls by encouraging them to stay in school, and treat education with the importance it deserves.  Instead, she sings about wild Hollywood parties and glorifies excessive drinking and other illicit activities.  I mean, perhaps I’m a little biased because school is one of the most important things in my life and I’m about as straight-edge as they come, but really.  What Ke$ha should be doing is encouraging young women to respect themselves and using her accomplishments in academics to do so.
