(A) We don't even know if it was the parents.
(B) I think we are disagreeing with your entire premise. If 99% of the parents wanted it to be okay for the kids to punch Jimmy the Joho in the face every day, it doesn't make it right. Again, sometimes the needs of the few do outweigh the needs of the many. As has been asked several times already, how are the kids going to be harmed by NOT singing the anthem every day? Are the all going to grow up to be violent criminals? Lazy potheads? What? In this principals mind the benefits of singing the anthem were not worth the problems it was causing.
