Capitol Police Stop Children’s Choir Singing National Anthem in the U.S. Capitol
And other stories from Amerika’s Police State
“We live in an upside down society with completely upside down values. In this sort of an environment, literally anything that you say could get you into serious trouble. Theoretically, our Constitution is supposed to guarantee the right of free speech for us, but the truth is that free speech has been dead for quite some time now. Those that are in the process of fundamentally transforming our society have made policing speech one of their highest priorities, and their hordes of brainwashed minions are always ready to step in and crack down whenever a potential violation has been detected.
Our society is rapidly becoming the exact opposite of what our founders intended, and previous generations of Americans would vomit all over the place if they could see what we have done to the nation that they sacrificed so much to give us.
America is being transformed into ‘Amerika’ right in front of our eyes, and none of our lives will ever be the same again.”—Michael Snyder
Late last month, the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir of South Carolina traveled to our nation’s capital to offer a public display of patriotism by singing the Star Spangled Banner, our national anthem, in the U.S. Capitol.
Of course, they had a First Amendment right to do so which requires no permission slip to do so, but they went that extra mile. They got approval from three Congressional offices to do so.
Well, these young Americans learned the hard way, Amerika isn’t the land of the free, home of the brave. It’s the land of the dependent, home of the slave.
Capitol Police were having none of it. They stopped the rendition cold.
Luckily, the cops weren’t trigger happy as the choir director, David Rasbach, complied with the dictates and stopped the song.
Rasbach told the Daily Signal:
“I was shocked, I was dismayed, I was stunned. I couldn’t believe that was happening, that they would stop the national anthem of all songs.”
Of course, the Capitol Police defended their actions and accused Congressional staffers of lying to the choir saying, “Demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed in the U.S. Capitol.”
The cop talk statement continued:
“Of course, because the singers in this situation were children, our officers were reasonable and allowed the children to finish their beautiful rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. The Congressional staff member who was accompanying the group knew the rules, yet lied to the officers multiple times about having permission from various offices. The staffer put both the choir and our officers, who were simply doing their jobs, in an awkward and embarrassing position.”
Well, the video shows differently regarding allowing them to finish the song. But the entire statement is a “bald-faced lie,” said Micah Rea, who organized the trip for the choir.
The Capitol Police had to later eat their words after finding out the choir did get approval, but they boiled it down to “miscommunication,” according to WLTX-TV.
In another story concerning students, Michael Snyder reported on the case of government school tyrants and their enforcers, this coming from Kellogg High School in Idaho.
In this case, senior Travis Lohr was one of several upperclassmen who were picked to give advice to underclassmen. He was given “preapproved” remarks to give, but he went off script telling the underclassmen: “Guys are guys and girls are girls. There is no in-between.”
Because of speaking biological truth, Lohr was told he would not be allowed to walk in his graduation.
After learning about this, other students and community members and school staff peacefully protested. How did the school respond? They fired a bus driver who protested and postponed their graduation for everybody with help from the sheriff department that lied for the school saying there were “safety concerns” with allowing the graduation to take place.
As Snyder wrote:
“This didn’t take place in California.
Kellogg High School is located in one of the most conservative areas of one of the most conservative states in the entire nation.
If this can happen in Idaho, it can happen anywhere.”
These students in Idaho and the choir children from South Carolina learned a valuable lesson. In Amerika, the government doesn’t work for you. You work for the government. And these are the lessons being taught when you allow the government to run schools. You’re taught obedience, not independence.
John Whitehead wrote for the Rutherford Institute:
“This is what it means to go back-to-school in America today.
Instead of making the schools safer, government officials are making them more authoritarian.
Instead of raising up a generation of civic-minded citizens with critical thinking skills, government officials are churning out compliant drones who know little to nothing about their history or their freedoms.
And instead of being taught the three R’s of education (reading, writing and arithmetic), young people are being drilled in the three I’s of life in the American police state: indoctrination, intimidation and intolerance.”
