Jump down, turn around, pick a bale of cotton

I'm bummed to find out that one of my favorite music class songs from elementary school is so objectionable. It's so darn catchy; I had it in my head all last night after reading this article. I always assumed the song was something that cotton-pickers sang, not something sung about them. Isn't that celebrating cultural heritage rather than glorifying slavery? It's all in the spin.
