High School Band Refuses to Buy Music from ‘White Composers’
Students taught to view music in terms of race, gender, rather than artistic merit

A Minnesota high school band is taking political correctness to a whole new level by only purchasing music created by “composers of color.”

Band directors at the Spring Lake Park High School outside of St. Paul say they’re taking inclusivity and diversity center stage.

“The band directors… have pledged to include at least one piece by a female composer and one by a composer of color in each concert, for each of the school’s bands,” reports NPR.org.

But the directors are also taking another extraordinary step in virtue signaling their diversity.

“We made a commitment this year to only buy music from composers of color,” band director Brian Lukkasson admits.

Nora Tycast, another band director at the school, sees no problem with scrapping white composers in the name of “inclusivity.”

“The more you practice talking about race, culture and ethnicity the more comfortable you are,” Tycast told NPR.
