Teacher on leave after saying school banned 'Rainbowland' by Miley, Dolly [View all]

A Wisconsin teacher who said the school district's administration banned students from performing the song "Rainbowland" by Miley Cyrus and Dolly Parton, has been placed on administrative leave.

Melissa Tempel, a first grade dual-language teacher at Heyer Elementary, confirmed she was on leave from the Waukesha School District in a text to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY Network. She deferred any further comment to the Alliance for Education in Waukesha.

The alliance is a group of mainly Waukesha parents who announced Monday on social media that they want superintendent James Sebert to be investigated for discrimination of LGBTQ+ students and staff, accusing him of repeated discriminatory actions.

Sebert later confirmed in a statement that Tempel was on leave and wouldn't comment further.

Sebert said in March the decision to pull the song was based on "whether it was appropriate for the age and maturity level of the students" and because of "social or personal impacts" on them.
