The Danish song is a young blonde girl – a song and a shitstorm later

CBS WIRE

CBS came under heavy fire when it became clear that professor Mads Mordhorst had apologized for singing Kai Hoffman and composer Carl Nielsen’s ‘Den danske sang er en ung blond pige/The Danish song is a young blonde girl’ during a morning meeting at the school. The apology was given because a teacher present at the meeting felt excluded by the song, as she was nothing like a young blonde girl. But what concerns – if any – should we consider before we let our vocal cords sound at public institution? Press play and dive deeper into the case that sparked one of the most furious debates about values in 2018. Participants: Politician Nikolaj Bøgh, senior communication consultant Anne Kirstine Cramon, anthropologist Karen Lisa Salamon
