They said it: School trustee’s spoof song glorifying gunplay misses mark with teachers

“Randolph the Bow-Legged Cowboy had a very shiny gun, and if you ever saw it, you would turn around and run.”

— San Jose Unified School District Board Vice President Brian Wheatley, singing a version of a spoof of “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer” in a video he posted to his social media after a principal had stopped him from singing the full song at an elementary school concert last month and he apologized. Some teachers at last week’s board meeting called it tone deaf.
