Let's face it, this was blown out of proportion. At either of the schools I went to, we only sang the anthem at assemblies.

It's not about how often it's sung.


his supporters keep missing that fact.

I know, I've said it about five times already.

Yea, I am. I've pretty much stayed out of these threads because as Xerxes said, this has been blown out of all proportion. The death threats prove that. But what is it about?

Well since you can't figure it out the point of the argument is that someone forced these children to stop singing everyday because allegedly two parents are upset about the word God. It doesn't matter if they sang it every day or every month. Someone forced them to stop. That is the point.

That is the assumption made here. I have not read anywhere the reason why.

I really doubt that, to a man, everyone who was upset over this was upset for that reason. I heard everything from railing against immigrants, leftists, Canada-haters, military-haters, what have you. Just go back to one of the first articles on this. The reasons for the decision weren't even known.

No. This is all about how often it's played.

No. Go read the first articles:

$1:
The Boyd sisters have been raised singing the national anthem every day, but a New Brunswick school has silenced their morning ritual.

These days, the only time Julia Boyd, 11, gets to belt out the anthem's lyrics is at monthly school assemblies, other special occasions or at home with her older sister Kara.

That's because singing O Canada is no longer a daily morning event at Belleisle Elementary. The school's principal has dropped it in response to concerns from other parents.

...

The change started more than a year ago, but Boyd said she didn't find out until Julia started forgetting some of the lyrics.

...

Annette Pollock has a grandson at the school and she also counts herself as among those upset about the kids' inability to sing the national anthem daily inside the classroom.

"He goes to hockey. It's pretty bad when you have to wait for hockey to teach him O Canada instead of in the schools," she said of her grandson.

"I'm sure he'll learn it. They play it at every game."


Link.

It's all about how often it's played.
