Today, I went to my high school for a welcoming orientation. The parents and students were talked to separately, and my mother said that a guest speaker mentioned straight edge in his speech. I was mildly appalled by the misconception he had of straight edge.
He said that straight edge is people who choose to abstain from drugs and alcohol (correct) but do not necessarily have to be hardcore. He also said that straight edge is most commonly associated with religion, and that the music is religious. The hell? That couldn't be farther from the truth!
Is anyone's school out there preaching this same, altered version of edge?
