[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was about Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex?  That's crazy, it was a very popular European (Swedish) earworm dance song from the 90's the video for which makes fun of rednecks.  Its current popularity is nothing but 90's nostalgia.[/quote]

Exactly. But folks on here who don’t know anything about the context have already jumped to the conclusion that these kids were evil and racist.
Apparently there can be no other explanation period. 
It is disappointing that the school had the knee jerk reaction to suspend the students.

No, it's not all about the song or the TikTok.  That's been explained repeatedly and literally no one except the "how can you call them evil" brigade has used the word evil.  I'll never believe that people this disingenuous are actually seeking a better society.  A large number of kids walked out about unequal treatment, and all you care about is whether the jactions of the white TikTokker are getting the most generous possible interpretation on DCUM.[/quote]
