"I regret to see a book-burning attitude. "

I regret to see that as well. Thank goodness we did not see it in this case.


"My opinion is that they should take the opportunity to educate their child about slavery and the work songs that helped them get through those troubled times."

And I agree with your opinion. That appears to be exactly what the school did. The ARE teaching the children how wrong it was to have slavery in this country and the horror of that lifestyle. They just decided the best place to educate was not in the concert. I agree with that too.   I applaud the school for using folk songs to teach their children.
