    which would require all teachers and students at Iowa schools to sing at least one verse of the national anthem every day

    That’s weirder than requiring the whole thing.

    Doubtful Trump could get through a whole verse correctly even with a prompter.

      “oh shay can you see… see they’re all against us, and we’re going to show them. By the dawns… I knew a woman named dawn… Great woman, gorgeous like Ivanka… Uhh… Light. What do proudly… We are a proud people and we won’t stand for their tricks, their cheats. We hail… you know Hitler was hailed as a great guy. Amazing person, did great things.”

        My dad had to take the citizenship test like 40 years ago and he still remembers the most weirdly-pointless shit no one should ever care about like “Ben Franky didn’t discover electricity but he was the first postmaster general”

      Looking forward to the videos of the kids singing:

      No refuge could save the hireling and slave

      From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,

      That’s from the third verse.
