NO ONE SUGGESTED PUTTING TOGETHER A LIST OF SONGS THAT COULD NOT POSSIBLY OFFEND ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This story has been twisted around and people are using it to grind their own ax.   The story about a specific school and a specific song had a specific resolution - one which I happen to agree with.   

I don't think anyone suggested "banning" the song or pretending that it never existed. The issue comes down to whether or not it was appropriate for these children in this situation. You may disagree, and that is fine. There was no right or wrong resolution to this story.

There are Child Ballads that deal with rape, incest, infanticide and more taboo subjects. Would you be raising a stink if one of those songs were "banned" from a middle school concert?

There have been exhibits of Nazi art in museums across the world. Often it is met with protests. Is that an appropriate response? You tell me.

You can't hide or forget the past. You can learn from it. However there are appropriate places to share art and inappropriate places.
