UPDATE:
An elementary school in Massachusetts has told kids not to say the
word “God” in the Lee Greenwood song “God Bless the USA” during a recent
assembly. Instead, they wanted students to say, “We love the USA.”
Many parents were not happy with this move, but some agreed that the
principal did the right thing. The school decided that they would pull
the song from the assembly all together instead of continuing a debate
about it.
Michael Graham, a conservative radio talk show host with WTKK in Massachusetts, joined Martha MacCallum on America’s Newsroom
to discuss the matter. Graham disputes the point that there was a
debate at all. “No one came to the elementary school in Bellingham,
which is 15 minutes from my house and said, ‘We’re offended by God Bless
the USA’ … What happens is these bureaucrats inside government get so
afraid that someone might be offended that they preemptively censor
themselves. This is censorship, this is good old fashioned government
limiting speech.”
Lee Greenwood
weighed in on the matter issuing this statement: “We can’t take God out
of the song, we can’t take God out of the The Pledge of Allegiance, we
can’t take God off of the American currency … The phrase God Bless the
USA has a very important meaning for those in the military and their
families, as well as new citizens coming to our country.”
