TI banned from speaking at Atlanta schools

Two Atlanta-area school districts have stopped rapper TI giving talks at their schools, despite his community service sentence requiring them.

Hip hopper TI, who is doing a lot of talking to kids about the dangers of drugs, guns and gangs as part of his community service in relation to that previously reported recent gun conviction, has been banned from talking at two schools in his home town of Atlanta.

Representatives in the Fulton County school district say that they have banned the rapper from giving official talks at their schools because of his conviction, even though the sentence for the conviction was giving such talks. Officials in the Cobb County school district say they have also stopped a TI talk going ahead, but say they haven't banned him from talking altogether, but that they don't think it is currently appropriate because of recent gang activity which has led to the death of one student.
