The Spring Lake Park High School in Minnesota has decided to stop playing music composed by white guys.
"There's a kind of an ideological segregation of who can and cannot be in band, based on who the composers are, and what the music is like," student Kia Muleta told the radio network partially funded by your tax dollars.
"I really, really want other students of color to be able to feel like they are welcomed and appreciated anywhere, that they don't have to check themselves at the door," she added.
"The more you practice talking about race, culture and ethnicity, the more comfortable you are," band director Nora Tycast said.
