Last week, a group of Capitol Police officers made a shocking decision to stop a children’s choir from singing the National Anthem in the Capitol Rotunda. The patriotic choir, consisting of young and innocent children, simply wanted to honor and show their love for their country with the time-honored tradition of singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in the echo-filled chamber of the Rotunda. Unfortunately, they were shut down mid-performance by law enforcement officers tasked with safeguarding the very symbol of our democracy. According to Gateway Pundit, the choir had a permit for the concert, but that didn’t seem to matter to the over-zealous cops.
BREAKING: Capitol Police officers reportedly halted a children’s choir from singing the National Anthem in the Capitol Rotunda, citing concerns that it “might offend someone.”
If the National Anthem offends you, then why the hell are you in America? ??♂️https://t.co/LZfUK6e4BG

These law enforcement officials claimed that there were concerns that the song “might offend someone.” Seriously? Since when did patriotism become offensive? It is disgraceful that our nation has devolved to the point where our children are no longer allowed to express their love for and pride in the United States. This is yet another example of the left’s assault on our nation’s values and heritage.

The National Anthem sung by schoolchildren is offensive? I hope they got a video of the adults who said so.
The children should be invited back to sing it again, broadcast to a national audience, that needs these voices more than ever.

If someone finds the National Anthem offensive, they need to book the first flight out of the country.

It appears as if liberal bureaucrats have once again forgotten what it means to be an American. It is time for us to stand up for our country and its principles. If a group of innocent children singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” is too offensive for these people, then they need to find a different line of work, because they certainly do not understand what the Capitol Rotunda represents. Freedom and liberty are the cornerstones of our nation. Let’s ensure that our future generations can continue to celebrate and honor them without persecution.
