In response to incidents of police brutality across the United States, singer Macy Gray is ramping up her nonprofit My Good.

A Principal Flipped ‘U Can’t Touch This’ Into a School Safety Anthem and MC Hammer Says It’s 2 Legit

Can’t touch this. Water fountain at your high school? Definitely can’t touch that. Which explains why Dr. Quentin Lee, principal of Childersberg High School in Childersberg, Alabama, recently adapted the no-touch song for a slam-dunk parody aimed at getting his students ready for the school year. Rocking a mask and armed with a bottle of hand sanitizer in one hand and a thermometer in the other, Dr. Lee runs around the halls warning pupils and teachers to stay away from high-touch surfaces while reshaping Hammer’s lyrics for a COVID-19 worl...
