I have a cousin who lives in Waukesha, he told me there are some parents there who demand to "rule or ruin" schools there, they are right-wing radicals who have no real clue as to the damage they are doing.
School board votes to terminate teacher who wanted to use 'Rainbowland' song during concert
Melissa Tempel expressed frustration on Twitter after school leaders banned students from singing the song
WAUKESHA, Wis. —
The School District of Waukesha Board of Education voted to terminate an elementary teacher over fallout from the fight over Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton's song "Rainbowland," saying she violated three board policies.
Melissa Tempel had a message for her former students after the decision.
"I also wanted to just say hi to my students because I haven't been able to talk to them since March, and I really miss you guys, and I love you, and I really wanted to be there with you this year, and I hope that we get to see each other really soon," said Tempel.
In March, Tempel took to Twitter, venting frustration, after school leaders at Heyer Elementary School "banned" her students from singing the song at their spring concert, saying it "could be deemed controversial."
