I’ll admit, I detest the song. First off, it’s disco. Yuck. Second, it’s seemingly about adult males attempting to get young men to go to the YMCA for gay sex. Though the Village People dispute that. Still, it’s better than most of the utter crap coming out today. The narcissistic, focus group corporate written, patronizing, never going to sing it live, auto-tuned, computer created, etc and so on crappola. But, still disco. And, apparently, racist
(UPI) A North Dakota elementary school will not be allowing the young men and women in a first-grade class to perform YMCA at a talent show because a parent dubbed the planned performance “racist.”
Students at Bennett Elementary School in Fargo were supposed to sing the famous Village People song during a May talent show.
They were going to dress up like the Village People. Obviously, racist
Parent Elaine Bolman found it offensive that her daughter or her classmates would be asked to dress up like a stereotypical Native American caricature.
“I’m not in a position to do anything for these educators, and hopefully those people that are can make the right choices so all students of any culture and race won’t feel singled out or like their race is being stereotyped against,” Bolman told Inforum.
Seriously, people need to lighten up. Stop Being Offended by everything. BTW, is Bolman an Indian?
