7. Would it be a copyright infringement to use the music

Nov 2015

from this song with the modified lyrics? The article says the lesson was in conformance to the state and district standards (I don't know if that was true), but I wonder if the song was a creation of the teacher or contained in the standards or some sort of workbook created to support the standards.

Reporters do not know how to ask the right questions. If it is a creation of the teacher, then correcting the teacher and moving on should be sufficient. If it is included in the standards, then we have a much bigger problem?
