I have mentioned previously that our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion movement should have its own music. I wrote new lyrics to a song that was banned in South Africa because nonwhite protesters adopted it as the anthem of their nationwide school boycott. It is called Another Brick in the Wall. Here is the up-to-date DEI version:

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thoughts at all
No dark racism in the classroom
Teachers throw them kids a bone

Hey! Teachers! Throw them kids a bone!

All in all we want to be a brick in the DEI wall.
All in all we want to be a brick in the DEI wall.

We all want indoctrination
We don’t need no thoughts at all
No transphobics in the classroom
Teachers throw them kids a bone
Hey! Teachers! Throw us kids a bone!
All we want is to be a brick in the DEI wall.
All we want is to be a brick in the DEI wall.
