This week, we wrestle and discuss the hard topic: what do you do with music that has words and themes stemmed from racist backgrounds? Do we dig our heels and stick with it? Do we just change the words? Or do we stop and choose different songs? Why ought we need to consider different songs? There are so many questions that we tackle and address gracefully. Aimee Curtis Pfitzner comes in as a guest to share her thoughts on the topic as well. This is hard topic and we want to hear your thoughts—no matter where you stand. https://www.ofortunaorff.blogspot.com https://www.chaoticharmonyclassroom.com Our Social Media: @CHClassroom Marc Keehmer: @mrKeehmer Zoe Kumagai: @msKumagai Crystal Pridmore: @FinneyVAPA Jonathan Seligman: @mrSeligman [Twitter/Instagram] Email: chaoticharmonyclassroom@gmail.com Spiccato: Spider Toy Round of the Week: Swing Low Sweet Chariot Follow us on Twitter!
