to them, even the tiniest speck of violence is bad for them. we can consider them un patriotic, but they don't care because of their beliefs

Just skip the violent parts.

A disgrace. Absurd. This is a college, not an elementary school. I'm pretty sure 18+ students can handle The Star Friggin' Banner.

And, not only did they ban the words, but they banned the whole song. How is the music itself violent? At least show some respect for our soldiers.

Actually Palpatine they don't have a football team, however they do have other sports in which contact is frequent such as soccer.

Bladerunner their beliefs are their right, however to ban music, I could understand if they banned an anthem that was filled with heavy metal, the star spangled banner is not violent.

To be honest, I'm quite happy about this, I've never particularly liked how our colony (the one that likes to call itself the USA) kind of waves their small victory in our faces. You could always get them to sing the British national Anthem - the Canadian one is good too.
