Luckily, parent outrage has forced the school to pull the altered "We love the USA" song, but sadly, the original version won't be played at the assembly either.
Following outrage from parents; a changed version of "God Bless the USA" has been pulled from an upcoming school assembly concert.
n a statement from Stall Brook Elementary school, they said they hope to "maintain the focus on the original objective of sharing students' knowledge of the U.S. States, and because of logistics, will not include any songs."
