Because sometimes the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many. This principal obviously weighed the pros and cons of the situation (is a daily honouring of our country worth the disruption it is causing) and came to the conclusion that he did. As previously stated, I would have rathered he looked at the root cause of the disruption rather than banning the anthem. But if his only options were to ban or not ban, I think he weighed the needs of both sides correctly. We don't NEED to sing the national anthem every day. If we did they would institute it at our offices.
If the rights of the majority always outweigh the rights of the minority, then why wouldn't we go back to having slavery of the black people?
