Colbert Mocks Wisconsin School Banning a Dolly Parton Song: ‘These People Weren’t Hugged Enough as Children’

‘Let’s hear these dangerous lyrics’

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “Florida’s not the only state banning wonderful things. Because recently, in a Wisconsin school, first graders were not allowed to sing a “controversial” Dolly Parton song about acceptance. Controversial? About Dolly Parton? She’s a being of eternal light and rhinestones! The only controversy about Dolly Parton is “Is she the best person now?” Or “Is she always gonna be the best person forever and ever amen?” Here’s what happened. A first-grade teacher wanted her students to sing a lovely song “Rainbowland” by Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus, which school officials deemed inappropriate. So let’s hear these dangerous lyrics.”
