Overreaction

I saw this story about a Richardson elementary school apologizing for its choir singing the Mexican national anthem at a school program and thought "Why do they have to apologize for." I'm guessing the choir sang it in Spanish which I find that impressive for an elementary school. I'm not sure I've ever even heard the Mexican national anthem and I'm always open to being exposed to something new.

But the telling paragraph in this story is the last one: "Richardson school officials said they had received three complaints about the placement of the song." Three? THREE? To me, that's caving in to a small bigoted minority and the Richardson schools should be ashamed of themselves for apologizing.
