Comment (by bamadesigner):

 Technological and teaching arguments aside, can we look at this plugin's
 existence from a moral standpoint?

 As a fan of musical theatre, and one who loves to enjoy singing "Put On
 Your Sunday Clothes", it pains me to point out that this movie, as a
 whole, is horribly sexist.

 There's a reason ticket [ticket:43555] exists. And that users are seeing
 offensive lyrics in their admin, e.g.
 https://twitter.com/michellefelt/status/974060334502719488.

 If we don't want to remove it, for the sake of teaching, can we at least
 replace it with something that doesn't represent a movie that degrades
 women as "dainty" and "fragile", re: the musical number "It Takes A
 Woman": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pzrQQn6mwo.
