Remember the days when the high school choir would sing modern pop songs and old-school spirituals? Well, those days are long gone.
The chorus at New Fairfield High School in Connecticut drew outrage after they were ordered by sing a song about George Floyd.
The song was exposed by Mason Cipriani, a graduate of New Fairfield and a correspondent for Campus Reform.
Andrew Gadwah is the chorus director and he’s forcing the kids to sing about Floyd’s death and the Black Lives Matter riots that ensued back in 2020.

The song is titled, “Weather: Stand the Storm.” It includes lyrics like, “white silence equals violence” and “whatever contracts keep us social compel us now to disorder the disorder.”
It’s not exactly a GRAMMY award-winner.
“Black,” reads another lyric. “Just us and the blues kneeling on a neck with the full weight of a man in blue. Eight minutes and forty-six seconds.”
Mr. Cipriani says he is sickened that the choir teacher would force kids to sing what is in essence a Black Lives Matter anthem.
“As a graduate of New Fairfield High School, it sickens me that the first year in the brand new building started off so poorly,” Cipriani told Campus Reform. “At the end of the day, it’s about education not indoctrination. Don’t shove things down people’s [sic] throat.”
As I wrote in my new book, “Twilight’s Last Gleaming: Can America Be Saved?” school is supposed to be about education, not indoctrination. And the new Fairfield High School Choir’s big number is no doubt off key. Click here to read my book.
