(...and for Dolly Parton, of all people.)
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — 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 “could be perceived as controversial.”
Students at Heyer Elementary School in Waukesha had prepared a rendition of “Rainbowland” 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.
The lyrics of the offensive song:

Oh for fuck's sake.
You know these are the same parents who let their kids play GTO and first shooter games, give them unfettered access to the internet, and then complain about this.
Assholes
Are we banning Rainbow Connection next? Kermit and Miss Piggy since they are different species (or are they okay because male/female)? Are we banning

I wonder if these people have forgotten that the rainbow was a sign of God's covenant with the people. It's right there in the Bible.

Are they going to be bringing the kids inside if there happens to be a 🌈 up in the sky?? Shame on these people. Imagine being a child who is questioning their identity being in this school? How do you explain to little ones that rainbows are “bad” things?

I wonder if these people have forgotten that the rainbow was a sign of God's covenant with the people. It's right there in the Bible. Didn't you know, that was the sign that God had banished all the gay people? Sometimes I just don't even know where to start. I never heard the song, if I were a parent there, I'd just think it was some cute song my kid was singing about rainbows and accepting people. What a dreadful, horrible concept for a kid to learn!
