I'm a atheist, and a former (ancient) Peabody parent, and I think this is a great choice, with historical ties to DC's majority population. [/quote]

That was DC’s majority population when you had kids at Peabody - the city has changed and DCPS needs to keep up.[/quote]

Nope. Next year, ask the music teacher in advance about the chosen music. Don’t like it? Have your kid sit out. Or just shut up and learn something that is clearly outside of your comfort zone.

Someone who clearly missed civics herself- minority populations, STFU - while the majority rules. Yikes. [/quote]

What does it matter? Seriously. Is this deeply traumatizing for you? The kid’s teacher picked a song that’s culturally relevant to a population (clearly not YOUR population nor a population you have NO interest about). At least it’s historical. Still angry? LEAVE. withdraw your child, move, go away. I assure no one Willl miss you.[/quote]
