Yesterday I took wife, daughter, and granddaughter to see the United States
Marine Band perform. They did a spectacular job, as usual.
On the way home, I asked my daughter and granddaughter if they learned any
patriotic songs in school. When I was a kid, we learned "God Bless
America," "America the Beautiful," *My Country 'tis of Thee," " Battle Hymn
of the Republic," and so on. Apparently these songs are too religious, for
the most part, to be taught in public schools anymore.
Anyone have different experiences?

How do you know that it's because of them being "too religious"?
I don't, that's why I asked the question.
But, some do have the word 'God' or 'Lord' therein.
