Again, this is dumb. The Star-Spangled Banner already gets played in schools. Students already learn it. No one is attacking the Star Spangled Banner, and this scare tactic is annoying. Also... funny how this would only apply to public schools, not private schools getting public funds through the Choose Act.

I would vote no because I don't think the Alabama Constitution should be used to dictate a weekly patriotic ceremony in every public school. I can value the history and meaning of the national anthem while also believing that schools should have the flexibility to decide how they use instructional time and how they teach American history and civics. To me, patriotism is strongest when it is voluntary and meaningful—not when government mandates a particular expression of it.
