It defies belief that a more inspiring song couldn't be found. Was there no song perhaps that the Victorian miners sang when they had their rebellion, a revolutionary.song?
Look at the inspiring song that the French have, or even the Russians, don't know about the Americans. I used to hear a lot of anthems in the days when I was glued to international soccer matches on SBS. Some were good, most were less than average, some were downright weird, like I think Argentina. How could a country with a Maradona expect people to listen & applaud that.

But this is where the story really starts
Some Aboriginal kids at a private school in SA (?) are having a stoush over not standing for the national anthem. Been disciplined in some way.
As I said, how could you blame them for sitting it out or even covering their ears?
When I was a kid we had God Save the Queen
Now that's a slightly better song, written by a German I think, well the music anyway. The words must have been written by someone let out of Callan Park for the day, but it is what it is
Maybe we could rent a song, a good one, and pay royalties, maybe a Beatles song
Everybody would want to sing that or even stand up.and dance
After all, singing a song to.mark an occasion like a national day or a special ceremony should be a joyous thing. It definitely shouldn't carry echoes of something that upsets or even angers people
But I guess it's too late. There was probably a vote on it and I was out of it at the time, anyway it's cold soup now, no use heating it up.

I don-t have an answer on punishing kids for not doing something that their people find offensive. But you're sure never going to change their.mind by punishing their kids .

yes, they sit around making up ideas such as, let’s make the plebs sing the shittest song ever. It’s how Sauron works. He tries to make us eat worms, sing crap songs and celebrate bad people. Same root base. Chaos.
