A few years ago, the Mennonite college near me considered doing away with the National Anthem at their home events for exactly this reason. They still play it, but I hear it was a hot topic on campus for a while.
Occasionally, I'll look around during the anthem at this school and see a few people that don't stand up. Nobody seems to care.
