Why?’ It was really hard — I had to say I didn’t know.” in March confirmed that the song was reviewed by a central office administrator. “They determined that the song could be deemed controversial in accordance with the policy,” the statement said, adding that the decision was “fully supported by the Superintendent” but that “at no time was the Board of Education involved.”
