National Anthem = Unlawful Protest

[Route 45]

If the founding fathers could see this, they'd be wondering why they even bothered.

SWMBO worked summers at the local library, and wanted to teach whoever showed up for her program on July 4 some patriotic songs. Other staff and her supervisor forbade it, fearing it might offend members of the immigrant community who sometimes attended.
Her response: Some of these people risked their lives to come here. This country, not somewhere else. Seems like they would want to know more about the country they fought so hard to get to.
Their response: No.

ETA: Their leftist reflexes kicked in so they had to be offended on behalf of people they didn't know.

Keep singing kids. they cant arrest all of you. And if they did, can you imagine the outcry over the optics?

One of the kids should have told the capital police to STFU.

I appreciate and Can confirm her response… you should’ve seen my mom when she recited the pledge of allegiance and the preamble to the constitution when I was helping her study for her citizenship. My mother was so proud and excited. My parents might’ve got here the wrong way, but they did so for the very reason immigrants have done so for centuries. A true immigrant is proud to show patriotism when they aren’t being bullied into suppressing it by minorities (and rich liberal or entitled whites) who are spoiled rotten by the elite society they were raised in.

F anyone who thinks their opinion is more important than anyone else’s. On any side of the political spectrum.

I would have been cool if the adult said "Its not a protest, kids. And you know it. So keep singing. But I'll not direct you as they'll likely arrest me. They wont arrest kids." And then he turns his back on them and gives the officer the stinkeye as they keep singing.

I’m sure the DOJ will have no problem generating a few more Insurrection prosecutions.

They must have forgotten about Nick Sandmann. Those kids might not have to worry about any of their college expenses if they find a good attorney.

Those little guys probably worked hard to go to D.C to sing their little hearts out. They got them cut out instead. D.C. gets sicker by the day.

That was about media slander. This is totally different.

When you live in a country where veterans are considered possible domestic terrorists, what do you expect.

Still total BS that the National freaking Anthem is verboten in the U.S. Capitol. Hell, they should have that playing on a loop in the whole building.

Ok. I'll Denny it.
The conversation started when they went for the second verse. Slave is in the third verse.
Usually only the first verse is sung.

Ooh, they also mention "hireling" in the third verse. That implies someone that works for a living. That's probably what they found offensive.

I may be wrong, but were we not slaves to the crown at the time?
