Administrators at a Wisconsin elementary school stopped a first-grade class from performing a Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton duet promoting LGBTQ acceptance because the song 바카라 게임 웹사이트could be perceived as controversial.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Students at Heyer Elementary School in Waukesha, Wisconsin, had prepared a rendition of 바카라 게임 웹사이트Rainbowland바카라 게임 웹사이트 for their spring concert, but school officials struck the song from the lineup last week. Parents in the district say the decision was made because the song encourages LGBTQ acceptance and references rainbows.
Superintendent James Sebert has previously prohibited rainbows and pride flags from being displayed in classrooms. In 2021, Sebert suspended equity and diversity work at the school district, which is located less than 20 miles outside of Milwaukee.

Oh, I바카라 게임 웹사이트d be lying if I said this was fine, all the hurt and the hate going on here.바카라 게임 웹사이트
First-grade teacher Melissa Tempel said she chose the song because its message seemed universal and sweet. The class concert바카라 게임 웹사이트s theme was 바카라 게임 웹사이트The World바카라 게임 웹사이트 and included other songs such as 바카라 게임 웹사이트Here Comes the Sun,바카라 게임 웹사이트 by The Beatles and 바카라 게임 웹사이트What a Wonderful World,바카라 게임 웹사이트 by Louis Armstrong.
바카라 게임 웹사이트My students were just devastated. They really liked this song and we had already begun singing it,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Tempel said Monday.

Administrators also initially banned the song 바카라 게임 웹사이트Rainbow Connection바카라 게임 웹사이트 from The Muppets but later reversed that decision, according to Tempel.
Parents have been angered by the song바카라 게임 웹사이트s removal, Tempel said. But she was more concerned about what the ban and other district policies against expressing LGBTQ support meant for students.
바카라 게임 웹사이트These confusing messages about rainbows are ultimately creating a culture that seems unsafe towards queer people,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said.
Spokespersons for Parton and Cyrus did not immediately respond to emails on Monday asking the artists바카라 게임 웹사이트 thoughts on the ban.
Wisconsin school boards races, including in Waukesha, have become increasingly partisan in recent years. Republicans saw big gains across the state바카라 게임 웹사이트s school board races in 2022 and have used the positions to challenge policies from rules about transgender kids to COVID-19 restrictions.
