California bans national Anthem at public schools

Blow that fricking state into the middle of the Pacific

Is there another source besides that sketchy website?

it's time to really start putting the screws into California

Sounds like an open act of rebellion. Time to give them the secessionist treatment in the proud tradition of Lincoln.

I think I'll pass on believing nworeport.com

I would be happy to join the war of conservative aggression.

That's just silly. I'd like a legitimate link though. All I see is that a local school district has authorized it. I don't see anything referring to anything more than a district man on any legitimate news site.

If someone doesn't want to stand for it, or participate, don't make them do it... but it shouldn't be banned. If my son doesn't want to stand for it, I'll be ok with it. If he does, I'll be ok with it. To completely eliminate is is asinine though.

An agry parent did reply, per the article...

I’m hoping to draw further attention to a significant problem at California High School in San Ramon, California. Todd Starnes at Fox News has already addressed this in part but I would like to see more light shed on this in an effort to bring additional pressure on the anti-American liberals who run the school and district.

I am the father of a student at the school, and when my eldest son came home and told me about this I was outraged. Effectively a handful of disgruntled snowflakes did not like a reference to “the hireling and slave” in the third verse of the Star-Spangled Banner. As a result, the national anthem will no longer be played at student gatherings. The school administration put out a piece this afternoon claiming that they were attempting to be inclusive and mindful of issues which may make some students uncomfortable. Of course, they don’t take the feelings of the mainstream into account with their radicalized agenda on issues involving gender or other hot topics. It seems that only the left is given the benefit of the doubt on these things. Frankly, I’m tired of being on the defensive.

There are several sites that have reported it. Gov Brown gave permission for schools to ban the anthem if they chose to. Here are dozens of sites you can choose from to read about it.

PicK the one you want, there are several to choose from

Did you happen to read those articles?

A website called yournews.com, produced a story regurgitating the California High School stories from national news organizations, but with the headline, "California Gov. Jerry Brown Bans 'Racist' National Anthem at Schools." The headline is unsubstantiated and nothing similar could be found on reputable news sites or the official website of the state of California, ca.gov.
