Franklinton High School (North Carolina)
Franklinton High School (North Carolina)

Franklinton High School is a public school for secondary education located near Franklinton, North Carolina, United States, about 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) southeast of the town. It serves the rapidly expanding western areas of Franklin County and has seen significant growth in the past several years. The new campus was constructed in 2010 to replace the old high school that was built in the town of Franklinton in 1923. The new high school currently serves grades 9 through 12 for students residing in the Franklinton and Youngsville areas. There was originally a high school located in Youngsville, but it was closed and students in Youngsville began attending Bunn High School in 1978. Youngsville High School was demolished and a new elementary school was built in its place, called Youngsville Elementary School. The new Franklinton High School was opened to students on August 25, 2011 to start the 2011–2012 school year. Franklinton High School is three floors although the building is situated on an incline. The lower level (downhill side) primarily consists of the cafeteria, auditorium, gymnasium and vocational wing including art, music, technology, shop and agriculture. All of the sports fields are also on the downhill side heading towards Cedar Creek. Two floors are on the upper level (uphill side) which consist of the administrative offices and library along with the English, math, science, social studies and foreign language wings.

WCPE

WCPE (89.7 FM) in Raleigh, North Carolina, is a listener supported non-commercial, non-profit radio station, and the program contributor for The Classical Station, a classical music network. The station went on the air July 17, 1978, and switched to a 24-hour classical music format in 1984. Both are owned by the Educational Information Corporation, a nonprofit community organization. WCPE's studios are located just outside Wake Forest, North Carolina. Its main signal extends from the South Carolina state line to the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia, and some parts of Charlotte, North Carolina, as well. The station is known for being unusually conservative in its musical selections and content, refusing to air selections of modern classical music, and quietly discontinuing carriage of the weekly program 'Wavelengths that focused on contemporary classical music. It refused to air modern works from the Metropolitan Opera citing adult content and mature language. However, the modern works selected for exclusion were by BIPOC composers which had all received critical acclaim and acceptance in the operatic community at large. In the same breath, the station stated it was pleased to broadcast long-time favourite operatic repertoire including Carmen, Nabucco, Romeo and Juliet and Madame Butterfly as calm and relaxing programming for the whole family. However, these tried and tested operas contain themes that include prostitution, smuggling, murder, execution, bigotry, cultural appropriation, teen suicide, child brides, misogyny, teen pregnancy, wife abandonment, child abduction and suicide. The station's argument was that the excluded operatic works are in English and thereby understandable by a more general audience; indictating the included operas are in languages other than English (French, Italian, German et al.) that the listener would not comprehend the lyrics. While the station did receive some support for this forced censorship, ultimately listener and public backlash had the station reverse their decision; and the station will broadcast the 2023-2024 Met Opera Broadcast Season in its entirety as outlined in the contrast between the station and the Met Opera.
