Not everywhere, in the children's book my school used they retained that verse and even had complementary illustrations. I am sure some school boards have successfully gotten it removed, but it there are a not insignificant number of schools that keep the verse in.
♪ By the squares of the city
In the shadow of the steeple
By the welfare office
I found my people
As they stood there hungry
I stood there whistling
This land was made for you and me ♪
♪ This land is your land
But it once was my land
Before we sold you
Manhattan Island
You pushed our nations
To the reservations
This land was stole by you from me ♪
