Nope, that's actually not it at all. What people are trying to say is that our CONSTITUTION gives anyone the right to protest something as long as it's done in a peaceful and lawful manner. You, nor anyone else can tell someone how to protest or what to protest about as long as the protest is done in a peaceful and lawful manner. That right will not be given up just because people like you don't like it. This is one of the freedoms that we get in this great country, which is all due to our CONSTITUTION. You can't force anyone to stand for the national anthem anymore than you can force someone to stand for the pledge of allegiance. And in case you didn't know, the supreme court voted in 1943 that it is unconstitutional to force anyone to stand for the pledge. Since this precedent is already set by the Supreme Court, there will not be a law making it illegal to sit, kneel, squat, or do whatever you want during the national anthem. You might not like it and I understand that but you can't take someone's CONSTITUTIONAL rights away. Why should anyone have their CONSTITUTIONAL rights taken away just because people like you disagree with it?
