NEW YORK – A New York City principal has pulled the plug on patriotism by preventing students from singing "God Bless the USA" at their graduation.

The decision has sparked fireworks at a school filled with proud immigrants

I could see the principal's logic if they were singing in France or Italy. This is 'Merica, dang it! It's OK to be pleased with here and to ask God's blessing.

This is crazy!

Heh! - This is the United States of America! :attention I want my kids to sing patriotic songs here!

I want patriotism to be instilled in them from a young age!


edited to add: Woudn't it have been awesome if the parents, having gotten wind of this, had stood up at the end of the program and, a' capella-style, belted out, "And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free! ... " etc.

:heh

Uh, this is America. I remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in school. I guess that principal doesn't let the kids do that either.

From what I read they were going to allow a Justin Bieber song but now that's had to be scratched after much outrage. (ban God bless the USA but allow Baby by Bieber)

Yeah, a Justin Bieber song is so much more patriotic. :crazy

When I read that she is a Jehovah's witness it made sense. She does not believe in participating the the national anthem or anything that we would consider "Christian". Not really surprised that she acted this way considering her "religious" beliefs.
