These First-Graders Aren't Allowed to Sing Dolly Parton and Miley Cryus's Song About Rainbows, For Some Reason

Located in the north of Tennessee, Nashville is known as the hometown of country music thanks to its thriving scene. With Taylor Swift moving to the city as a youngster to kick start her career and with Dolly Parton calling the area her home, it’s clear that Music City has the A-list stamp of approval. But despite its roots, Nashville is far more than a music hub for songwriters and fans alike.

Miley Cyrus has responded to a Wisconsin school banning students from singing her Dolly Parton collaboration ‘Rainbowland’ by donating to an LGBTQ+ organisation.Teachers from Heyer Elementary School in Waukesha, Wisconsin were ordered earlier this week to remove the song from a planned concert in which it would be performed by first-graders.According to a statement by the Waukesha School District, a music teacher at the school asked the principal to approve the song’s usage prior to the ban. After he and a central office administrator reviewed the song, they found it “could be deemed controversial”, based on one of the district board policies.The lyrics of ‘Rainbowland’ – from Cyrus’ 2017 album ‘Younger Now’ – do not explicitly mention LGBTQ+ issues, but do espouse a general message of acceptance for others.

A Wisconsin elementary school’s board decided against having Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton sing their song “Rainbowland” at the school’s yearly spring concert.
