One community in North Carolina is outraged at the actions of the 9/11 Memorial security staff.

The above video captured a 9/11 Memorial security guard halting a children choir’s performance of “The Star Spangled Banner.”   

Uploaded to Facebook on April 20 by Connie Shepherd Scanlon, the video lasts less than a minute. 

The recording begins with a group of nearly 50 children singing the second refrain of the American national anthem.

The choir did not even manage get through the first stanza of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before an unidentified 9/11 Memorial security guard informed them that they had to stop.
