re: Jeff Landry has weighed in on LSU National Anthem drama

quote:

---

My father served 30 years. Me and mine stand for the National Anthem.

People should want to be present for the National Anthem.

People should want to stand for the National Anthem.

But legally compelling people to be present and stand for the National Anthem seems to fly in the face of traditional notions of freedom in America.

And if people don't feel it, compelling them under threat of law will not make them feel it.

In any event, a law compelling attendance for the National Anthem would be unconstitutional under well-settled Supreme Court jurisprudence.
