A group of high school students attending a conservative leadership conference in Washington, D.C. said they were ordered by a security guard to stop singing the national anthem during a June 25 visit to the Lincoln Memorial.
They told them to stop singing, said Evan Gassman, a spokesman for the Young Americas Foundation. I was taken aback. You wouldnt expect a display of national patriotism to be censored.
U.S. Park Police confirmed that the students were in violation of federal law and their impromptu performance constituted a demonstration in an area that must remain completely content neutral.
The area they were standing in and singing is an area that is restricted for this type of activity, said Sgt. David Schlosser. The United States Park Police is absolutely content-neutral when it comes to any sort of demonstrations in these areas.
I do believe Lincoln wanted them to stop
Nothing worse than a bunch of high schoolers screeching

That's what it looks like to me.

The Lincoln Memorial is not Lincoln's Tomb, where silence would be expected. It's a memorial to one of our Presidents and patriotism should be encouraged.
Lincoln, "Die when I may, I want it said by those who knew me best that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow."
In other news...the same students began to sing the National Anthem in the Library of Congress, and the head librarian shushed them.
There is a time and place to sing, and there is a time and place to shut the fuck up.

Isn't the spot where MLK jr. gave the "I Have a Dream" speech close by?
