"Having reported not too long ago on Campus Crusade for Christ dropping ‘Crusade’ from its name because some felt ‘it conjured up images of violence and intolerance’… well, monkey see, monkey do."
Indiana College Bans 'Star Spangled Banner' (NBC) Tiny Goshen College in Indiana has banned the “The Star Spangled Banner" at all sporting events because the Mennonite school’s president considers the National Anthem’s words to be too violent.
The 1,000-student school had already banned the words last year, but the band could still play the music for patriots in attendance. Now, the school has banned the song entirely, according to NBC Sports.
The school’s board of directors told college President Jim Brenneman to “find an alternative to playing the National Anthem that fits with sports tradition, that honors country and that resonates with Goshen College’s core values and respects the views of diverse constituencies.”
Brenneman was okay with that. “I am committed to retaining the best of what it means to be a Mennonite college, while opening the doors wider to all who share our core values,” Brenneman said. “And I invite others to join us at Goshen College as we make peace in all of its forms, even with the national anthem.”
