[quote=Anonymous]This has popped up a couple of times in my Facebook feed, posted by white music educators who vow to do better. I think it’s the university of Michigan that has a long list now of songs they won’t perform anymore, including All the Pretty Little Horses, which my mom sang to me and I regularly sing to my children. I can’t for the life of me think of anything racist or offensive about it. After quite a bit of googling, I found something about a rumor about its origin. I’m going to keep singing it. In fact, I’ll be generally inclined to take this more seriously when it’s not based on an article written by a white woman kn Medium. I’m all for amplifying black voices. But I don’t hear or see any black voices concerned about this. Dr Suess, on the other hand....[/quote]
