The kids in Madison should just sing the Official State Song of the State of Wisconsin (also the University of Wisconsin football song) On Wisconsin "On Wisconsin! On Wisconsin!

Oops - just saw this is off topic - sorry.

Obviously this school is not the best use of public tax dollars, if multi-culturalism has come to dominate love of the country that promotes that diversity. Since when is patriotism and multi-culturalism mutually exclusive?? Hawk
