[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MENC Executive Director John Mahlmann, “Learning patriotic songs helps our children form bonds with their communities and instills pride in the American ideals we all hold close to our hearts – [u]freedom, liberty and equality[/u]. One reason to know the national anthem, I guess. Sure glad I never had to learn and sing the national anthem of Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia or any other country where people don't have the same freedoms and equality and democracy we have in the US.[/quote] Wait, what? Making children sing the national anthem in school teaches them to be grateful that they don't live in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Russia? I don't get it. And what about countries where people do have the same freedoms and quality and democracy we have in the US (or more!)? Do you want to learn and sing the national anthems of those countries?[/quote]
