Controversy over Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton duet ban at Wisconsin school concert
TL;DR Summary
Administrators at a Wisconsin elementary school banned a first-grade class from performing Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton's duet "Rainbowland" promoting LGBTQ acceptance at their spring concert, citing it as controversial and inappropriate for the age and maturity level of the students. The decision has angered parents and raised concerns about the district's policies against expressing LGBTQ support, which some say create an unsafe culture for queer people. The ban is part of a larger trend of increasingly partisan school board races in Wisconsin.
