WI School Bans Dolly/Miley Song About Rainbows

Milwaukee’s Fox affiliate reports:

A Waukesha teacher asked kids to sing a Miley Cyrus song, but administrators say it’s too controversial for elementary school. The song is called “Rainbowland.” It’s a duet between Cyrus and country star Dolly Parton.

Superintendent Jim Sebert confirmed that “Rainbowland” was dropped from the set list. He cited a specific school board policy, saying: “It was determined that ‘Rainbowland’ could be perceived as controversial.” Lyrics include “wouldn’t it be nice to live in paradise” and “where we’re free to be exactly who we are.”

Cyrus has previously said “Rainbowland” is inspired by her recording studio – painted in different colors. Parton has said it’s about “hope and positivity in dark times.”
