As an American educator, you should encourage patriotism among students, in honor of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. I hope you will do the right thing and admit your decision was wrong. Allowing the children to sing a nationally-beloved song of inspiration strengthens our nation and gives hope to America's people.
