Kpop Demon Hunters may be Netflix\u2019s biggest movie of all time<\/a>, but one school has banned its students from singing the catchy tunes because some are \u201cdeeply uncomfortable\u201d with the references to demons.<\/p>\n

Per the BBC<\/a>, the Lilliput Church of England Infant School in Poole, Dorset, sent a message to parents last week that they have banned the singing of songs from Kpop Demon Hunters. The school asked parents to encourage their children \u201cnot to sing these songs at school out of respect for those who find the themes at odds with their faith.\u201c<\/p>\n

In a subsequent statement, acting Head Teacher Lloyd Allington said that while the school has received feedback from parents who have pointed out the positive messages in the songs, the school is also trying to support those who find the lyrics to be \u201cchallenging.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we fully respect your right to make choices about the content your child engages with at home, we also want to be mindful of the diversity of beliefs within our school community,\u201d he said. \u201cFor some Christians, references to demons can feel deeply uncomfortable because they associate them with spiritual forces opposed to God and goodness. We are not asking parents to tell their children that there is anything wrong with enjoying the film or its songs if it aligns with your own views and beliefs\u2026Our role will simply be to help children understand that some of their peers may hold different views and to explore how we can respect and support those peers in upholding their faith.\u201c<\/p>\n

When I was a kid (and I\u2019m dating myself here), my school tried to ban Pogs, but all they did was force us to set up a lucrative black market, complete with daily-changing locations and assigned lookouts. All these years later, I struggle to remember why we thought they were so cool.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t watched Kpop Demon Hunters for myself, but our own Steve Seigh absolutely loved it, proclaiming that the film more than lived up to the hype. \u201cThere are many reasons why your social media is blowing up with talk about KPop Demon Hunters,\u201d he wrote. \u201cFirstly, the film drips with confidence. It has something to say, and the filmmakers take every opportunity to deliver something entertaining, emotionally intelligent, and drop-dead gorgeous. The friendship chemistry between Rumi, Mira, and Zoey is aspirational, with each character having a unique energy to add to the movie. Secondly, the drama is real. KPop Demon Hunters isn\u2019t afraid to grab hold of humanity\u2019s inner demons and shake them loose with infectious grooves and wildly relatable lyrics.\u201d You can check out the rest of his review right here<\/a>. A sequel is in development<\/a>, but isn\u2019t expected to be released until 2029.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
