So is teaching evolution, alternative lifestyles and passing out condones but that doesn't make it right. Our public school system is a poor example for anything.

It just struck me funny. Great promo on the myth of Lincoln though.

So the answer is no? LOL!!!
Daniel, look, symbolism matters to me. I wear a wedding ring because I love my husband, and I want everyone to know it. It's not just another piece of jewelry. I know some men take their wives rings and have them reset with more precious stones on anniversaries or whatnot, but I threatened my husband, and told him to NEVER touch my ring or alter it in any way. I am very sentimental about it--because I'm sentimental about HIM. I don't care to have a bigger diamond. When I look at my ring, I remember going into Wal-Mart, yes, Wal-Mart...lol...with Jeff, holding hands, leaning over the glass jewelry counter, and choosing a set of rings together. We spent every cent of our savings, which was about $250. 
He's welcome to buy me another ring...  But I can promise you it will never replace the one I have now, or even go on next to it.
I feel the same way about the flag and the anthem, and other symbols of our country. Because I love my country, I want those symbols untouched, unaltered and untainted. There are men who fight in wars, not just for freedom, but to protect the symbols of freedom. No doubt, there are men who would die protecting the FLAG. And they are to be commended for their devotion.
And by the way--I love my husband a lot more than I love my country.

Re: Black National Anthem?? What in the world...
And while you are putting your money where your mouth is..... maybe you should read a little more history. 
Yes, white men were slave owners - but it was the black man who originally SOLD other black men to the white man. 
You are NOT the all-knowing Daniel. It seems that you think you know as fact EVERYTHING there is to know about any situation. You never offer your opinions - just your "knowledge" - From the South Texas District, to the New York Metro District to the Western District to the Apostolic Assemblies - and now to know it was appropriate to go against what a person has been asked to do when singing a specific song.
It would be nice to be so knowledgeable about every subject discussed on this forum.
