| Message | Kids are sponges when it comes to their surroundings. Having kids hear the anthem inspires pride of country in them. Are you against this? |

| Message | No, but children should not be forced to do something they may not understand. |

| Message | They aren't being forced to do anything. We're simply playing the anthem every day. If they really don't understand it, then they will simply accept it as white noise. The children should be instilled with feelings of patriotism. There is nothing wrong with that. It will end up making them better people. It doesn't mean that they'll become zombies. It doesn't mean they won't think for themselves. It means that they will learn to love their country and possibly use it as a motivation to conduct themselves well on behalf of it. |
