A Watertown school board outside of Milwaukee removed A Mother of a Revolution from next week's concert program.
School board members said the piece could incite political violence.
Its composer, Omar Thomas, dedicated it to a transgender activist.
School board member Sam Onio said the decision to pull the music reflects the platform members campaigned on.
Camilla Sibalis, a trombone player in the middle school band, asked the board to reconsider.

She explained she's gender fluid and has been bullied.
Students have been practicing the piece all school year.
