Beautifully performed by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir - we sang that song in grade school, along with many other patriotic tunes - many with God mentioned in the lyrics. Imagine a teacher doing that nowadays - probably be arrested, fired for sure.
We were pleasantly surprised at the granddaughter’s “graduation” from Pre-Kindergarten recently, the 5 year olds all sang “Proud to be an American” (Lee Greenwood). Of course, that had me weeping. A private day care/preschool.
