| Message | Forcing children to sing the national anthem and otherwise make patriotic noises when they do not understand what that even means does nothing but cheapen actual patriotism. |

| Message | Maybe if teachers taught them the meaning of the anthem, it might have some merit but forced singing, come on. Patriotism is something that everyone should know, but if they don't it shouldn't be forced on them if they continue to not understand. Plus, there are many different outlets to perform acts of patriotism. |
