For more than a century, there was no playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Goshen College -- a 1,000-student Christian college in Indiana with ties to the Mennonite Church. But now, for the first time in the school's 116-year history, Goshen will play an instrumental version of the national anthem before many campus sporting events.
******I guess the Mennonites have historically avoided the song because its lyrics describe using war and military might to defend the country.
Give me a break, really.
It's just a song in the end, not a song hailing to the anti-christ or anything anti- religion for that matter.
Yes, there is a link between the national anthem and the military identity of the nation but it's written that way for a reason.
Get over it Mennonites and find something real to ban.******
