Lee Greenwood isn't taking the elementary school 'God Bless the USA' controversy lying down.  He's speaking out for the kids who are too young to understand why their school principal banned the song from this year's graduation ceremony.

The New York school principal who is refusing to let the kindergarten class since Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA' is under fire from parents and Americans all over the U.S. To show our support, we are asking everyone to record their children singing the chorus of the song, just like these kids did.

The principal at a Coney Island, NY elementary school is under fire from both parents and some members of the community after she banned the kids from singing Lee Greenwood’s patriotic anthem ‘God Bless the USA’ at a kindergarten graduation. But you won’t believe what she says they can sing.

Lee Greenwood has always been one to support his country. His 1984 hit, ‘God Bless the U.S.A.’ is still one of the most show-stopping tunes after all this time. Well now he is once again taking a stand for our country with the release of his new book, ‘Does God Still Bless the U.S.A.? A Plea for a Better America.’

Our "Country Classic Double" today features country artist Lee Greenwood, who is celebrating his 68th birthday. While Lee has had numerous country hits, he's best remembered for his patriotic: "God Bless The USA", a song that became an anthem for our country in the days following 9/11.
