Yes No View Results Some parents are calling foul after an 8th grade middle school choir sang a folk sang about picking cotton called "COTTON NEEDS PICKIN" during a fall concert!! Black parents at Springfield Middle School in Ohio were outraged after hearing the song as parent Nicole Maulsby, a cuban mother posted the video on her FB claiming the song about workeers picking cotton is a racist reference to black slaves in the South A black woman in the crowd can be heard mouthing "Oh my God". A snippet of the song includes "Cotton needs pickin so bad, we're going to be pick all over this field" Superintendent Matt Geha said it comes from an American folk music book and hadn't received any calls but understands the complaint on social media. A Christian Youth Life event off campus also had a "country" theme where students of the Christian youth group were posing with the confederate flag. Radio Host Charlie Mack said "Come on Springfield. This is the song you sing just a week after the confederate flag issue?". The superintendent reiterated and said "I know that timing can sound bad, but it's a historical component for what the choir department had to use for their curriculum" Do you think this song is racist?
