TL;DR Summary

Administrators at Heyer Elementary School in Wisconsin removed a first-grade class's performance of Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton's "Rainbowland" from their spring concert lineup, citing the song's potential controversy and inappropriateness for the students' age and maturity level. The song promotes LGBTQ acceptance and references rainbows. The decision has angered parents and raised concerns about the district's policies against expressing LGBTQ support. The school district's equity and diversity work was suspended in 2021, and rainbows and pride flags are prohibited from being displayed in classrooms.
