"Moving forward, we must take action and be inclusive to all," the student body president wrote.

It didn’t specify the race of the slave. I prefer Greek slaves. ;-D

Inmates in charge of the asylum?

Puhleeze...the libturds are still winning. This grand experiment will fall into the dustbin of history if we do not reclaim our heritage (the good and the bad), know our history (truthfully), and find our foundation once again.

I fear it will be a difficult struggle.

Even if true of the third verse, which I do not in the least accept, when have you ever heard anything other than the first verse sung at any public event?

Sing Mexico’s national anthem. Half of your students probably still have their loyalties and citizenship.

I suppose they dont teach the history of the war of 1812 where the British offered pay and British citizenship to slaves and other mercenaries to join them in burning American towns and plantations along the Chesapeake and Atlantic coast

Nor do they teach that the first Defender killed at Ft McHenry William Williams was a runaway slave who instead of joining the British or running to Canada, enlisted in the American army after plantation homes in Maryland were sacked and burned by Brits and their mercenaries including slaves who chose to join the British army

The Defenders who held off the British and their mercenaries from sacking and burning Baltimore in the battle watched by Francis Scott Key

Which is why he wrote

” No refuge could save
The hireling and slave
From the terror of flight
Or the gloom of the grave”

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Translated from what?

Sadly, this is my adopted home town that I moved away from several years ago.

The liberal indoctrination is succeeding in certain areas, California especially.

It was brought to our attention that the national anthem’s third verse is outdated and racially offensive, wrote the president of the school's Associated Study Body

I wonder if anyone in the student body has noticed that many of the songs they love to listen to on the radio, have alternate, sexually offensive lyrics on the recordings they buy? When Trump was explaining to Billy Bush how the people he's hanging with at NBC, grab @ussy and get away with it because they are celebrities, everyone who hated Trump, went ballistic. If the same people hear a rapper singing about grabbing @ussy, they sing along and dance...

We are so screwed in the future. Has a nation in history this bitterly divided not eventually fallen into civil war or complete political division?

And as for the snowflakes, who decided to let the inmates run the asylum?

Further validation of Rush’s label for them: “skulls full of mush.”

If I recall correctly, the war of 1812 was provoked by England when the English kidnapped Americans and forced them into servitude on their ships.

Roving bands in English sea towns back then would kidnap young men and force them into service on the ships. They would be tortured into compliance.
