Teacher fired after wanting students to sing Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton song 'Rainbowland'

A Wisconsin school board fired first-grade teacher Melissa Tempel on Wednesday after she tried to include Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton’s song, "Rainbowland," in a concert back in March.

"Rainbowland" describes a fantasy where everyone gets along. 

The Waukesha-area Heyer Elementary School received backlash after first-grade students, who had planned and rehearsed the song to perform among a set list of songs at an upcoming concert, came home disappointed that the song had been cut.

Waukesha school board members in March blocked elementary school students from performing the song at a spring concert, deeming it too controversial.
