Pacifist Indiana College Pulls National Anthem - Indiana News Story - WRTV Indianapolis

Pacifist Indiana College Pulls National Anthem - Indiana News Story - WRTV Indianapolis: "GOSHEN, Ind. -- A small northern Indiana college has decided to stop playing 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at sporting events after starting to do so for the first time last year.

Goshen College's board of directors said it will find an alternative that honors the country and the Mennonite Church-affiliated school's pacifist traditions.

The 1,000-student college has been playing an instrumental version of the national anthem, followed by a peace prayer, before games and other events."
