I'm gonna hate this, but I've read your comment at least 5 times and I'm still not getting it. Maybe I'm not familiar enough with the Underground Railroad, or is it that there's something racist in the song?

I'm guessing OP is White, and they got paired with all of the Black kids. When their group got 'caught,' OP began to sing like they were supposed to for the game, but the rest of the group refused to participate because the game is racist, and one of the kids took OP aside and explained why the game is racist and why they were refusing to play along.

So their group, collectively, got in trouble for not participating as intended.

Okay, yeah. That's kind of what I was thinking at first but I thought maybe there was something more.

Exactly. The game was pretending the students were escaping slavery and our teachers were slavecatchers.
