Info from Licensor: "It could have been the repeated police violence, economic inflation, actions to overturn Roe vs. Wade, the staggering wage gap between the wealthy and poor, or likely all of the above that motivated the 2022 graduates of East Lansing High School in East Lansing, Michigan to refuse to stand during the national anthem. Many of these teens are of voting age and capable of speaking and standing (or lack there of) for themselves. Taking similar action that got Colin Kaepernick kicked out of the NFL, the youth of our nation understands that the U.S. has become stagnant in its backward spiral. When will enough of us stand up (or sit down) to prove that we are FED UP!? We want changes and we want them NOW."
