Administrators also initially banned the song “Rainbow Connection” from The Muppets but later reversed that decision, according to the teacher whose class was affected.
MADISON, Wis. — 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.”
Sebert has previously prohibited rainbows and pride flags from being displayed in Waukesha classrooms and suspended the school district’s equity and diversity work in 2021. “My students were just devastated. They really liked this song and we had already begun singing it,” Tempel said Monday. “These confusing messages about rainbows are ultimately creating a culture that seems unsafe towards queer people,” she said.
