@waukeshaschools @DollyParton @MileyCyrus @mileyworld @gsafewi @CivilRights #publicschools pic.twitter.com/8Na0nETmDw— Maestra Melissa (@melissatempel) March 21, 2023 She also included a screenshot the lyrics to “Rainbowland” in the post.The lyrics are: “Wouldn’t it be nice to live in paradise / Where we’re free to be exactly who we are / Let’s all dig deep inside / Brush the judgment and fear aside / Make wrong things right / And end the fight.”Tempel noted that administrators at Heyer — ostensibly pressured by the school board — also banned the children’s song “The Rainbow Connection” by Jim Henson, which was sung by Kermit the Frog in The Muppet Movie.However, the next day, in a follow-up tweet, she noted that it was later “unbanned” after parents sent emails to administrators complaining about barring “The Rainbow Connection.”Rainbow Connection was unbanned today after parents sent emails to admin.

These First-Graders Aren't Allowed to Sing Dolly Parton and Miley Cryus's Song About Rainbows, For Some Reason

track featuring —at an upcoming spring concert. Melissa Tempel, a dual language teacher at Heyer Elementary in Waukesha, Wisconsin, vented her frustrations on Twitter after learning the song had been deemed too “controversial” for six- and seven-year-olds to perform. “My first graders were so excited to sing 'Rainbowland' for our spring concert, but it has been vetoed by our administration,” Tempel wrote last week. "When will it end?" Initially, administrators did not elaborate on their reasoning for the ban, leading Tempel to wonder if Dolly Parton's vocal support for the LGBTQ community had something to do with it. “The latest I heard is that the song was banned bc @MileyCyrus is controversial,” she added in a subsequent tweet.

‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Adaptation Set at Blumhouse, With Emma Tammi Directing

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer Blumhouse is ready to spend “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” The venerable horror production company has set Emma Tammi (“The Wind”) to direct an adaptation of the popular video game series, set in a Chuck E. Cheese-like children’s restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where the animatronic creatures within go on a killing rampage after closing time. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop are handling the creation of the evil, murderous children’s mascots. Launched in 2014, the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” video game series quickly developed a robust and inventive fan base due in part to its unusual approach to survival horror gameplay. Rather than navigate the restaurant or fight off the rampaging animatronics, the game places the player in the role of the night watchman, who must remain in their office and use a limited number of grainy security cameras feeds and electronic door controls to track the movements of the creatures. If the player survives five nights — and a subsequent bonus night — they effectively win the game (by getting fired). Subsequent sequels expanded the scope of the world of the game and its macabre mythology.
