Since the release of her song ‘Flowers’ and her new album ‘Endless Summer’, Miley Cyrus is back. There is no doubt about it. For weeks, his song ‘Flowers’ was the most listened to song on the planet, and everyone knew about it. Many women took the song as an example of feminism and freedom; it’s even a breakup song by definition. On Tiktok, people use it to show their strength even when they are heartbroken.
And for Miley Cyrus, of course, it doesn’t stop there. First, the album is already said to be a summer album. Second, people started listening to his old songs to catch up with the songs they missed when he was in the shadows, but also for nostalgia, as we can see in the Youtube comment “23” with Mike Will Made It, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J . She inspired everyone, even the kids who decided to sing one of her songs from 2017, ‘Rainbowland,’ on the spot for a school performance. However, the school decided to ban the song when they heard it, but why?

Songs About the LGBTQ+ Community
It all started at Heyer elementary school in Wisconsin. A professor, Melissa Tempel, had the idea to make 6 to 7 year olds sing ‘Rainbowland’ for the spring show about unity and peace around the world, which is just a positive message, nothing else. But while the class was rehearsing the song and choreography, school staff decided to ban the song from the school program because of the message in the music, which supports the LGBTQ+ community.
why? Because for them, the message in it is very controversial. Released in 2017 on her album ‘Younger Now,’ Miley Cyrus’ song talks about inclusion of different origins, genres, religions and love and gives her full support to the LGBTQ+ community in it. Melissa Tempel, the professor, said the children were as surprised by the results as she was. He said he chose these songs because most of them have universal and caring messages and are suitable for unity and peace around the world. But what are the lyrics of the song?

Rainbowland lyrics
In the song, the first verse isn’t very interesting, so let’s talk about the second: “Live in the rainbow, where the sky is blue, and things are great. Wouldn’t it be better to live in heaven? Where we are free to be ourselves. Let’s all dig deeper. Put aside judgment and fear. Right the wrongs and end the fighting because I promise no one will win”. In this sentence, Miley Cyrus talks about a world where everyone will be accepted, where we have to stop fighting each other for no reason because, for her, in the end, no one will win. When we read it, It is a message for peace and all societies in the world.
So what is the school’s reason for banning the song when we see lyrics like this? Well, maybe because of the chorus: “Stay in the rainbow, where you and I go hand in hand. Oh, I’d be lying If I said this was fine. All the pain and hate happened here. We’re the rainbow, me and you. Every colors, every color, let’s shine. Together, we can start living in the rainbow”. In this lyric, Miley Cyrus explicitly talks about the LGBTQ+ community by mentioning the rainbow, rainbowland, which is the title of the song, of course, and “every colors” which, of course, refers to the LGBTQ+ flag and all the colors that come with it. . And this part of the song is probably why the school decided to ban the song.

School staff declared that the song ‘Rainbowland’ was not suitable for young children and that the children would have to interpret the ‘Rainbow Connection’ of the Muppet Show. Mellisa Tempel added that parents were surprised by the song’s ban because, like her, they found it inappropriate guilty, and he worries that this act gives the school a bad image in front of the LGBTQ+ community. James Sebert, the school’s principal, has banned rainbows and LGBTQ+ flags in the classroom and suspended his school’s work on diversity and equity in 2021. So this is not surprising who came from this school. However, we might wonder what Miley Cyrus thinks about it.
