Raw Story: Legislation introduced to the Indiana Senate would make it a crime to stray from approved lyrical or melodic guidelines while performing the national anthem at any event sponsored by public schools and state universities.
The bill was proposed by Sen. Vaneta Becker (R). She told The Indianapolis Star that it was inspired by a constituent who emailed her after being upset by a parody of the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
Republicans only want small government when it comes to things that promote the greater good and upward mobility, education, healthcare, the safety net, emergency response, etc. They want big government when it comes to controlling your personal life, who you can marry, what you can smoke, what language you speak, and now apparently, how you sing.
