that fits with sports tradition, that honors country and that resonates with Goshen College's core values and respects the views of diverse constituencies.

And the Star-Spangled Banner doesn't do those things...how, exactly? What "diverse constituency" has a problem with our national anthem, and why are they a "constituency" at all?

One more attempt to chip away at our national soul. This attempt should be shot down immediately to prevent copycats across the land...or we will be hearing that obnoxious "Imagine" song or some Eurocentric love theme to the United Nations in place of our national anthem.

Yep, “Imagine” by John Lennon has become something of an anthem among liberal radical types.

So, Francis Scott Key is out, and John Lennon is in?

On a side note, I have attended a number of girls college basketball games at San Diego State. While many of the players put their hands over their hearts during the national anthem, many players do not. The coach of San Diego State does, and theoretically is setting an example for her players. She should make it mandatory for the players to give their full respect during the anthem, or else, they can forfeit their scholarships and leave the team.

This is more liberal claptrap seeping into the culture.

Exactly what is wrong with the Star Spangled Banner? Was Francis Scott Key homophobic or a slave holder? Did he oppose women’s rights back in his day? Do the words about the land of the free and the home of the brave offend the sensibilities of enviro-activists????
