Why is Indiana state Sen. V. Becker (R.) wasting the Indiana house's time with a bill specifying [see details]?

“performance standards” for singing and playing the US national anthem in any public school and state university events, and at at any private institutions that are funded by state scholarship funds, including vouchers?

Aren't there far more important and pressing issues? Who would set the "standard"?

Update:

Umm, ah, hey guys, Vaneta Becker is female. I doubt she appreciates being referred to as "he".

Update 2:

"It's about time somebody put a stop to the pathetic way some people sing the National Anthem."

Oh really? So when's YOUR big debut on "American Idol"?

Update 3:

"About time someone shows some respect for the nation and its symbols. Of course liberals do not understand respect.".

Oh Puh-leeze! I could easily make the same unqualified statement for conservatives and Republicans, especially in regards to civil (and constitutional) rights, but it would be stooping to that level...
