CURRENT EVENT French minister’s national anthem snub sparks resignation calls Summary: The prime minister of France, Christiane Taubira, has recently not sung the national anthem at a weekend event commemorating the abolishment of slavery. She said she didn’t sing along because a soloist was performing and didn’t want to interrupt. She dubbed the singing as karaoke. Now, she is being targeted. 80% of the 20,000 french surveyed said that Taubira should resign. multiple other Prime ministers have refused the sing the national anthem while a soloist is singing, but they were not targeted. Theme: The theme of this current event is Human Rights. The refusal of the prime minister to sing the national anthem questions the patriotism other french have toward France. This brings up controversy and causes confusion among the people. Relation to Class Content: In Social studies class, we learned about the new patriotism many felt towards their country after the hundred years war. In France, many are afraid the prime minister is not patriotic. Reaction: I agree that the prime minister should be singing the national anthem, but I also understand that Taubira was respecting the soloist. This helps me gain a better understanding of social studies because I now know what happens when the country gains patriotism, and when they see a leader lose it.
