Proper Conduct When The National Anthem Is Played

[JGalt]

There is a law that says how we should act when the national anthem is played. It's written in U.S. Code Title 36 Section 301. However the code reads "should", not "must".

U.S.C. Title 36 - PATRIOTIC AND NATIONAL OBSERVANCES, CEREMONIES, ANDORGANIZATIONS

§301. National anthem
(a) Designation.—The composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem.

(b) Conduct During Playing.—During a rendition of the national anthem—

(1) when the flag is displayed—

(A) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note;

(B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and

(C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and


(2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.

The reference to the US Code is only a public service. Some of the more appreciative among us would rather live our lives as free people standing on our own two legs.

As opposed to kneeling like a little bitch, I mean.

What is the bigger outrage: kneeling quietly while the national anthem is played or police shooting unarmed Black American citizens?
