9/11 Memorial Guards Tell Kids to Stop Singing National Anthem
According to the kids’ teacher, the New York Post reported Monday, the guards implored the students to cease singing because it would be considered a ‘public demonstration’
"Two tone-deaf security guards at the 9/11 Memorial got tough with some wide-eyed middle-school kids visiting the city for the first time from their small town in North Carolina — because they sang The Star Spangled Banner," The New York Post reports.
“You have to stop. This is considered a public demonstration!” one guard barked at the patriotic teens, their Waynesville MS music teacher, Martha Brown, told The Post.
The guards insisted the group needed a permit to sing, according to Brown.
“Some of the students were very upset and confused. I told the children, ‘This is a place where you need to respect authority even if you don’t understand it,’ ” she said.
