A Massachusetts kindergarten class gets ready for safety drills by singing a “lockdown” song to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” shocking parents and leaving social media commentators outraged.
Georgy Cohen came upon a poster for the song Wednesday while she was touring a kindergarten classroom in Somerville.
She was so angered at what she saw, she took a photo and tweeted it.
The poster read:
- Lockdown, lockdown
- Lock the door
- Shut the lights off
- Say no more
- Go behind the desk and hide
- Wait until it’s safe inside
- Lockdown, Lockdown
- it’s all done
- Now it’s time to have
- some fun!
