Parents claimed the decision was made due to the song's LGBTQ+ acceptance and references to rainbows. Tempel's lawyer argued that she was exercising her right to free speech, while the school board accused her of violating board policies by expressing her feelings on social media before speaking with her supervisors. The decision has sparked protests both in support of and against Tempel.

Controversial Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus song banned from Wisconsin school concert.

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.
