| Radical Republican Union | 42 | No | It is excessive to force children to be involved in such shows of patriotism. While they shall be proud to be Drumaghians, it is not the role of the republican school to instillate national values and patriotism in them. That choice of beliefs is theirs to make, and there shall be no obligations to partake in a national anthem choir. |

| peopleswing | 17 | No | Making it mandatory every day can interfere with individual freedom and freedom of conscience. Students should be able to participate voluntarily rather than being forced to express national pride. |
