| Message | We feel that forced patriotism is worse than none at all, and must oppose this legislation. Article 1 removes a form of speach which should be protected, as well as being too vague in the defination of desecrated or dishonoured. Article 2 should be left up to the decision of the individual schools. |

| Message | Article 1 I oppose for the reasons stated by the RLP. Article 2 I oppose because it is wrong to force someone to sing the anthem. |
