[quote:Hawktopus:MV80MjY1NzYzXzc3NzE2NDEyXzZFNjgyODEy] Real freedom is NOT being forced to stand for the anthem. A real free country can stand people not respecting and protesting and doing whatever else you are all so quick to demonize. Think about what it really means to be free. It sure isn't being forced to stand for an anthem. I'm not saying I wouldn't stand. I'm saying freedom is making the choice to stand. [/quote]

A teacher in Chicago has come under fire after he told a Hispanic student, who is a US citizen, to go back to her country after she didn't get up during the national anthem.
The teacher's remarks were made to a student at the Nicholas Senn High School last month, who said she remained seated during the anthem as part of a protest against police brutality, US immigration policies and anti-immigrant political rhetoric.
Yesica Salazar, 17, said the teacher responded by asking her if her legs were broken, and recalls she was told 'go back to my own country if I didn't want to stand.'
