I teach high school students and we use folk music a lot in history class. I have also performed for some diversity day activities. Some of the songs my students have enjoyed were "Draft Dodger Rag" about deferments during the Viet Nam War, and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." I was surprised at how many students had never hear "Puff the Magic Dragon"! Some who had thought it was written a few years ago for the movie. They are surprised that it is as old as it is. I was singing it at the diversity day session, and I looked up to see two girls sitting in front of me in tears!
