Top court again backs Kimigayo orders

The Supreme Court has ruled it is constitutional for school principals to order teachers to stand and sing Kimigayo in front of the Hinomaru flag at school ceremonies, rejecting a claim that it violates the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of thought and conscience. The decision by the First Petty Bench on June 6, which followed a similar ruling by another top court panel May 30, finalized the defeat of 13 former Tokyo teachers who had been disciplined between 2003 and 2005 for not following the order to stand and sing the national anthem at school ceremonies and been denied postretirement reemployment.
