The Rushingbrook Children’s Choir was stopped mid-performance while singing the National Anthem at Statuary Hall in the US Capitol. The choir had been invited to perform for a special event and had begun singing the anthem when they were abruptly told to stop by Capitol police. The reason for this interruption was that it was considered a form of protest, which is prohibited in the Capitol building. This incident has caused outrage among many people who feel that it is wrong to silence children who are simply trying to honor their country with a song.

The moment a children's choir singing at the #uscapitol was told to stop singing the U.S. National Anthem during the second verse. They had been given permission to sing prior to a higher up deciding our nation's anthem in our nation's capitol was offensive.

The incident has sparked debate about what constitutes a form of protest and whether or not it should be allowed in public places such as the Capitol building. Some argue that any act of expression can be seen as a form of protest, even if it is not intended as such. Others believe that only acts of civil disobedience should be considered protests and anything else should be allowed.

The incident has also raised questions about how we view patriotism and how we express our love for our country. It seems that some people are willing to go so far as to silence children singing the national anthem in order to protect their own beliefs about what is acceptable behavior in public places.

This incident serves as an important reminder that freedom of expression must be protected, even when it may not always align with our own views or beliefs. We must remember that everyone has the right to express themselves without fear of being silenced or punished for doing so.

This is the country that we have allowed to form. We’ve allowed liberals to dominate our government and establish their own rules. If you notice, the part of the song that was interrupted was right after they sang, “And this be our motto, ‘In God is our trust'”. That’s what was offensive.
