Oh hey can you sing …
The New York Times reports a coalition of teachers, with corporate sponsors, is traveling the country teaching the National Anthem.
Apparently, a recent Harris Poll showed only 40 percent of Americans can recite the words to the Star Spangled Banner. And many people don’t know the story behind the song.
This is another argument for requiring kids to sing the national anthem in school each morning instead of reciting the pledge of allegiance.
