so, why the need for parental notification? I'm fairly certain the music teacher must have had the intention to explain the significance of the composition...in order to trigger the parental notification.

If it was me I would have sent a note home to CYA in case someone happen to over react at a school board meeting or something. Not like that would ever happen. If the teacher is a nut doing what you are saying then I guess I agree but I don't see why we should assume they are doing that. Did it say something to that effect?

You guys have never rocked out to a song and realized it was Queen? Does that really ruin someones day? Thats all Im saying.

I'm saying that if the real intent was just to perform a difficult composition, there would have been no reason to make an issue of, or even mention the backstory; no reason to trigger the parental notification requirement; no reason to bring up anything of the sort.

There's a huge, beyond incredibly obvious difference, to most people, in listening to or performing a song by a gay composer, than in making children perform a song in honor of a gay male prostitute, who is being portrayed as a mother of a violent riot, where law enforcement officers had deadly force (bricks, rocks, bottles and more) used to injure them and buildings occupied by people were set on fire, jeopardizing their lives. How can you or anyone else not grasp this?

Show me a song performed by queen that was in honor of trans riots

I agree and am more likely to assume its just a bunch of people making a big deal out of nothing. Someone show me where the teacher is preaching to the kids like everyone is assuming then we can get a can of fuel and take care of it but until then there sure seems to be a lot of reading into it making a big deal to do about nothing.

Show me a trumpet solo that makes you feel queer.

… all of them do

Haha!

I've never felt queer listening to fat bottom girls lol

They should of chosen “Lola” from the kinks

"JoJo was a man who thought he was a woman..."

"Dude looks like a lady..."

none of these others glorify riots.

if the music teacher has those proclivities, I'd say it's a safe bet that there were classroom discussions planned around the composer's backstory.

Clearly not a single person would care or know anything about it if it was just sheet music being played. Its likely th teaching all about the riot and why these song was wrote by a liberal teacher pushing an agenda. There b is a reason the teacher picked this song over tha thousand of others after all.

But not they will argue like that was not the goal. Very similar to how thay try to claim Islamic terrorism is just a small group distorting Islam. That Islam is just a religion of peace and love. Islam is a religion of death convert or die cult once you look into it.

But but its just a music with no words. Sure but your leaving out all ti classroom lessons teaching about the event that inspired the composition of said song. Taught in a way making the even look positive.

Not sure why everyone is trying to burn someone at the stake by convicting them with a firm “likely” or “im pretty sure”…

lol. I figured that was “T” ’d up for someone lol

because it makes no sense to issue a Parental Notification, if no one was being taught the origin/backstory of the piece!

it follows logically then, that the music teacher intended to introduce the backstory to they's students.

did they issue Parental Notifications for every OTHER piece of music they intended to perform?

if not, a reasonable person would ask himself "why DIDN'T they feel the need to do so for the rest of the concert's playlist; but they DID feel the need for THIS one?"

No, that is not possible. They must be trans lawmen, cattle rustlers, etc. Otherwise this would be no fun at all.

…. Everyone just passing over that he’s an African on top of being queer

…. I’m with OW … just shut this place down…. Everyone has become entirely too tolerant lol

Today I learned that because I don’t want my children to perform a sing written by an anti white sexual pervert I’m a communist
