If you think so...fine. I dont. I think he completely caved on something that had no business even being brought up for decision. I think he was more worried about the possible "battle" he MAY of had to wage to appease those who were complaining. He is a PUTZ if so..



The strawman waves back at you.....but mainly because the "majority" didn't have slavery....nor did they want it. Im almost sure there was a war to settle that whole situation as a matter of fact.
Well, to be fair, blacks were slaves for over 200 years and weren't fully citizens until the 20th century. And that war against slavery sharply divided and nearly decimated what became the U.S. It wasn't like it was a handful of people were trying to hold slaves for a week. And in the end, abolition achieved critical mass through the actions of the minority and was implemented through a democratic commitment to minority rights.

But... I digress... this isn't about slavery. You suggested that the rights of the minority are superceding the rights of the majority. Can you show me which rights of the majority are being infringed by disallowing the anthem in the school?
