What’s football? What’s baseball? What’s professional American sports?
They are dead to me.
Having blm flags IS a political statement. The suspension is wrong. The loss of freedom of thought is almost complete. BLUE lives matter!
Why don’t you make your links clickable in the articles you post?
If you want freepers to read them at least make it easier for them
to get to the articles.
He apologized for standing up for pledging allegiance to the flag
Period
‘“What’s football? What’s baseball? What’s professional American sports?

Great way to support a kid trying to do the right thing there sport.
Liberals hate authority but call on it when they are threatened.
The Admin & school board need a civil rights law suite from the parents. The football players were “expressing themselves” like others seem to be. A GoFundMe account needs to be set up to help pay for the suite.
Remember its what the left would if it involved one their “pet” issues. Use their own tactics!
IMO, there’s two views on this...1) The two football players in question were suspended basically for insubordination or not following a directive. They asked permission and were told, no..should have been end of story. 2) However, in light of all the other type civil disobedience going on, the two football players exercised civil disobedience for a noble cause and are now suffering the consequences, which is fine...it is a good lesson in the responsibility of being a citizen. If you violate the rules, no matter how “just” the cause, there will be (should be) consequences.
I do not dispute the reasoning behind their decision as it was noble, but if we are truly a law and order society (at least those of us here on FR), then we should support the school for upholding the rules.
I don’t fault the players for their decision to run with the flags, but when you make that decision after being told no, you ought to know there will be consequences and don’t complain about them...which they aren’t. I offer the 2nd view in light of all the other “statements” players (not just at this school) are making with linking arms, kneeling, raised fists, etc. Now, of course, there is the decision of the school saying no to the request to show these flags...but I understand the school’s position of trying not to say yes to one and no to another...no backbone that way, but acceptable IF consistent...IF.
Yes. This looks like another job for Lin Wood.
“Asking permission” is more often than not the wrong move in matters such as this.
Warren county.
The school is administer heavy and the libs are infiltrating from Hamilton county. The administrators have a stand alone office building off campus just to house all of them.
This is conservative Southwest Ohio. The same area that had an 8,000 vehicle Pro-Trump car parade around I-275 just last Saturday. The School Superintendent has posted liberal claptrap all over his official website page for the school district. This is exploding in Greater Cincinnati right now.
The two boys are the children of a Deputy Sheriff and a Firefighter. Stupid move by an uber-liberal Superintendent.
Not Clermont County. It is Warren County. But the same very conservative area.
If they’d been carrying a BLM flag they would have been honored.
Enough of this.
Will Villanueva grovel again tomorrow?

His agent must have gotten a lot of letters from former 24-hour fans. :-)
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
