Will the National Anthem soon be required in public schools? By Tiffany Thompson | February 5, 2021 at 10:50 PM CST - Updated February 5 at 10:56 PM
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - If passed, Senate Bill 12 would require public schools to play the National Anthem during the school week and before all athletic events.
The bill’s sponsor, Alabama Senator Gerald Allen, said the idea for this bill started after he was a spectator at his grandchild’s games at school.
“I was at a sporting event, watching my granddaughter play one evening at a volleyball tournament,” Senator Allen said. “I got to thinking about, ‘When are they going to play the National Anthem?’. That wasn’t played.”
