Good freaking grief: Fourth-Graders Become Part Of Political Protest In WI Capitol Rotunda, Teacher Pleads Ignorance. "On a Tuesday in late September, FOX6 watched as elementary school children were led into the middle of the protest, and encouraged to clap and sing along. According to Reeder, it's not the first time this has happened. "When they are here, we do try to sing 'This Land Is Your Land' or 'If I Had A Hammer,' things they might be familiar with that are a little less political, so they would feel welcome to come into the circle," Reeder said. However, the protesters' rendition of "This Land Is Your Land" includes a controversial verse that's almost never sung in schools. That verse is: "And on that sign it said, private property, but on the other side, it didn't say nothing. That sign was made for you and me.""
