Good point Greg. I did not think of it, but it is a state supported school as well.

Still, I would like to hear from the people who were, or are, offended by this song. I did not necessarily agree with it, but I could see how some people might have been offended by the song Pick A Bale of Cotton. Should a state supported school play songs that offend a segment of it's citizens?   Is it possible to find a song that doesn't offend anyone? Tough questions and there are no easy answers.

Years ago, I did a radio dramatization of Bob Dylan's book Tarantula with a local theater group (and the permission of Dylan's management). Dylan did a satire of Black Betty in his book. No one complained.
