Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about a high school basketball game is Des Moines, Iowa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Supporters of the Des Moines North High School basketball<\/a> team, many of whose players are from refugee families, were offended when\u00a0fans of Valley High School\u2019s basketball team wore red, white and blue last week,\u00a0The College Fix<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an example of BLATANT racism,\u201d said Ty Leggett, a Valley High School alum, on the Valley High School \u2013 WDMCS<\/a> Facebook page. \u201cALL participating should have been pulled and banned from ALL VHS<\/a> extracurricular events for the remainder of the year!\u00a0As a parent, I\u2019d be mortified that my son or daughter thought this way, acted in this fashion and refrained from taking a stand against this 21st century inexcusable behavior!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Erin Ness Carter, a mother living in the Iowan<\/a> district, remarked that \u201cfor the supporters of\u00a0one team from a primarily white part of town to paint themselves as the \u2018team of the USA<\/a>\u2019 it strongly implies that the other team, the less white team, is less American.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wearing the colors and the American flag<\/a> is not racist–it’s patriotic. Historically Americans have invited immigrants to join in that patriotism<\/a>. Historically immigrants have been willing to be part of that patriotism.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

Some Facebook users<\/a> commented on Valley High School \u2013 WDMCS<\/a>, noting that they had heard the chant \u201cdeport him\u201d or \u201cdeport them,\u201d but others denied these claims. Valley High responded to the accusations, stating that \u201cadministrators and teachers did not hear nor have evidence during the game of this occurring.\u00a0If we had been aware of it, we would have taken immediate action to stop it. Now having received reports, we are investigating and disciplinary action will be taken for evidence found.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If evidence of these chants is found, those responsible need to be disciplined, but otherwise, there is no crime in wearing the colors of the American flag. I can’t believe that any school administrators<\/a> were even willing to give this discussion the time of day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
