US Park Police Order Students to Quit Singing National Athem at Lincoln Memorial

[twirldoggy]

I think the officer should have used his discretion.  The children were reacting spontaneously to the situation after contemplating the statue.  In other words they were doing what came to them naturally and should not be told to move. This is apparently what the rule for contemplation implied.

My guess it was posted and they should learn to read.

the article said it was NOT posted.

If the article said it was not posted, then that would make it the gospel by all means.

Lets say the children had a diifferent reaction to the statue:  many of them thought  and contemplated the civil war and the sacrifices made in that war.  They spontaneously began crying right on the spot.   Should the gaurd ask them to move to another spot to cry?  Seems kind of silly to me.

I think its silly that we have a 4 page thread on this topic.

I have just revisited this article yet again, and I certainly do not see where it says that it was not posted. And you are correct Anmar; way too much has been made of this nonsense. 

[twirldoggy]

  Well move to another spot.

Amen twirldoggy! If you guys feel that it's "nonsense" and too much is being made of it then quit reading the topic.

I'll second that motion Kshillbilly
