Dolly Parton's duet with Miley Cyrus for 'Rainbowland' song has been banned from Wisconsin first-grade concert.
Melissa Tempel, who is a first grade dual language teacher at Heyer Elementary School said, "It's such a fun song and they just immediately took to it".
"We just really feel bad because the kids were excited about it. It's just really confusing. ... It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense."
When asked why she thought the song was pulled, Tempel told the Journal Sentinel, "I really don't know. There's so many different things it could be. We do have a controversial content policy within our district. And it's a little bit vague. So it's hard to know exactly what the district would say is controversial or not."
"Through the grapevine".
"Musical artists often do things that are very controversial. So that would be a really strange way to approach the controversial topic. How would you sing pretty much any song? Everybody's got something in their past that might be controversial."
My first graders were so excited to sing Rainbowland for our spring concert but it has been vetoed by our administration. When will it end? @waukeshaschools @DollyParton @MileyCyrus @mileyworld @gsafewi @CivilRights #publicschools pic.twitter.com/8Na0nETmDw
