If you attend Goshen College, a Memmonite college in Indiana, don't bother rising at a sporting even or taking your hat off for the National Anthem. There won't be one.

Apparently the song is a tad too violent and militaristic for their taste.

If these goobers think the Star Spangled Banner is too violent maybe they should just never turn on a radio again. Or watch television or movies. Or read the paper. In fact maybe they should keep themselves locked up in a closet so they aren't exposed to the rest of the world.

National Anthem Banned at Mennonite College's Sporting Events, Sparking Outcry - FoxNews.com

This is nothing new. Mennoties live all over the world--and in places you would never expect. And yes--for centuries they have turned off the real world. They don't watch T.V--They don't go to movies--and they don't read newspapers--and I have never noticed this group participating in politics--and imagine tht they don't vote either. Why do this surprise you? It's the way they have lived for 100's of years.
