[quote=Anonymous]Peabody is an elementary school. This is not AP English studying the Koran, Torah, New Testament in counterpoint to the Iliad. Four year olds singing about Jesus are not “learning tolerance and critical thinking skills.” They are being taught what is normative. And if that’s not their cultural myth or origin story, they are being taught they are abnormal. This is not appropriate in a public school. Great song for a church. Poor choice for a public elementary school. Doing a unit on Negro spirituals as literature or in history with appropriate cultural context -fine. [/quote]
