In today’s hypersensitive bizarro environment, where people are quite literally having mental breakdowns following the election of President Donald Trump, everything that used to be normal appears to now elicit howls of racism, xenophobia and sexism.
In the latest example we turn to Iowa, where students from Valley High School attended a basketball game in traditional red, white and blue attire they reportedly wear to big games. One would think that showing support for their team wearing the colors of the U.S. flag wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow, but you’d be wrong.
First, for some context, here is a picture of the offensive clothing worn by Valley High School fans at the game:
At first glance it certainly doesn’t look like these folks are engaging in any racist activity, but then, what do we know?
“This is an example of BLATANT racism,” said Ty Leggett, a Valley High School alum, on the Valley High School – WDMCS Facebook page. “ALL participating should have been pulled and banned from ALL VHS extracurricular events for the remainder of the year! As a parent, I’d 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!”
Erin Ness Carter, a mother living in the Iowan district, remarked that “for the supporters of one team from a primarily white part of town to paint themselves as the ‘team of the USA’ it strongly implies that the other team, the less white team, is less American.”
…
One Valley High School student, Dayna Dunnwald, noted that the school’s students had dressed with a USA-theme instead of their black and orange school colors “many times in the past.”

Then call me a racist.
Ignore the Fascist PC bastards and carry on.
Now I have seen everything....
One of our local high school teams goes by “Patriots” (which they changed from “Indians” a few years back, due to pressure to be PC). Their colors are red, white, & blue.
They will likely be forced now to change to rainbow colors or some other such insanity.
Some people just need to bitch.
If there isn’t anything to bitch about, they make up something........
I remember that. What they are doing in our educational system is criminal.
Well Erin, in their defense, you are associating patriotism with racism and this strongly implies that you are, in fact, less of an American.
They will likely be forced now to change to rainbow colors or some other such insanity.
Not if they ignore any objections.
I think the clever FReepers among us should get together and design a 4th of July tee-shirt for us to wear...red, white, and blue, of course.
The flag is next.
There are plenty of such t-shirts already available.
We have the Pace Patriots in our district and the Ft. Walton Christian Academy Crusaders as well..............
Well, now I’m all triggered. Thanks.
My son’s school colors are blue and white.
I always get a chuckle when we play an urban school and everyone is yelling “Go White!”
Just waiting for some administrator to start something.
We are also the “Indians”.
I wonder how much longer that will last!
I have a button-up flag shirt for the 4th and Flag Day...............
Do supporters of the other team, the less white team, wear clothing?
Are they free to choose which clothing they wear?
Can then not then choose to wear clothing that is patriotic, if they so desire?
I guess the snowflakes are still falling in Iowa in March...
Some people would bitch if their ass were on fire . . . . I know that I would
I could show them what “ blatant racism” is.
