Legislation Filed to Make Playing the National Anthem Mandatory Picture it, it was the fall of 1972. I was just entering sixth grade in a small town in Mississippi. One of my assignments that year was to memorize and recite the words to our National Anthem. It was something that everyone in my class had to do. We didn t mind, we were being told to do so by our teachers, and our parents, at least mine, insisted that we always show respect for our nation. Especially when the Anthem was being performed. A lot has changed in 50 years regarding the National Anthem and how it is perceived and accepted in our country. Case and point, legislation has been filed in the Louisiana Legislature that would make the playing of our country s National Anthem mandatory before any sporting event held at a state-funded facility.
