      My Latest. It's true - most @NFL players aren't protesting the National Anthem. They are protesting injustice & police brutality. But I took a much deeper dive into the life of Francis Scott Key & the National Anthem - AND...I am protesting the anthem.https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/national-anthem-meaning-colin-kaepernick/ …

      When it comes to early American figures, modern (white) Americans want us to do the opposite of what Dr. King dreamed. They want us to actually ignore the "content of their character." Francis Scott Key was a MONSTER.https://theintercept.com/2018/09/13/national-anthem-meaning-colin-kaepernick/ …

      I think most white people have a line that can be crossed in which they'll no longer enjoy the art of a person if they do A, B, or C. It just seems that owning & abusing & breeding & trading & selling Africans - then making their life a living hell for a living doesn't cross it

          I am a white kindergarten teacher in WA State public school struggling w/state law demanding we say the Pledge of Allegiance every day, stand 2sing the national anthem at school events. I see a flag & hear a song in honor of indoctrination of #InstitutionalRacism. @JessedHagopian

          I feel a gut-level need to collaborate with educators of color to develop liberation lessons for kindergarteners on this topic. I get a stomach ache every time I hear #PledgeOfAllegiance & #StarSpangledBanner. #InstitutionalRacism #TakeAKnee #Slavery #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool

          Honestly, I see our flag and national anthem in the same way I see the Confederate flag - as symbols of colonialism, permanent war and #InstitutionalRacism. I believe nothing could be more patriotic and challenging and symbols & acts of violence. #TakeAKnee

          Melodically, it's among the worst anthems in the world. To Anachrion in Heaven---drinking song of a private English men's club. You have to be half drunk to sing it.

          you left out some very important facts about Key's life; how he represented slaves for their rights to be free in court and also freeing his own slaves.
