A video capturing a children's choir being abruptly interrupted by Capitol Police while singing the national anthem in the U.S. Capitol went viral on social media over the weekend. Capitol police claim that the interruption occurred due to a miscommunication, stating that musical performances in Congress require permission and the officers were unaware that the choir had approval from the House speaker, refuting claims that the interruption was motivated by concerns of offensiveness. https://justthenews.com/events/capitol-police-say-it-was-miscommunication-shutting-childrens-choir-down
