Ruth Bader Ginsburg is often recognized and remembered as a symbol for progressive change, but the late Supreme Court justices opinion of kneeling during the national anthem was socially conservative.
According to Katie Couric, she eliminated some of Ginsburgs quotes regarding the national anthem during a 2016 interview, to protect the Supreme Court justice. While she protected Ginsburg in 2016, Couric decided to publish the controversial comments in her memoir more than five years after the interview. The Daily Mail was first to obtain an excerpt from the upcoming book.
In 2016, Couric omitted Ginsburgs claim that not standing for the anthem depicts a contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life

as they became older, they realize that this was youthful folly. And thats why education is important, Ginsburg told Couric. I think its a terrible thing to do, but I wouldnt lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.
Courics memoir Going There is set to be released on Oct. 26. In the book, Couric states Ginsburg, who was 83 at the time, was elderly and probably didnt fully understand the question, pertaining to the NFL and players choosing to kneel.
