It's always wonderful when karma comes calling at the right time, and for one school principal along with his band of bratty cheerleaders, that day came just at the right time. They thought no one would find out about the sick thing they did to World War II veterans, but once the word got out, the backlash was so enormous, it went on to make national news.
On September 30, 12 cheerleaders from Cornell High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, decided to take a knee during the national anthem. While we’ve gotten used to these disgusting displays of disrespect across our nation lately, there was one small issue with the timing of their protest. Not only were there World War II veterans present at the high school football game serving as the honor guard, but the veterans had been set up by the Superintendent of the school, Aaron Thomas, who invited the veterans to the game, knowing that his cheerleaders were planning the disgusting protest. But Thomas along with his cheerleaders would soon realize they had made the biggest mistake of their lives, as their antics would then go on to backfire in a huge way.
Shortly after the protest, a journalist by the name of Sarah Slayer caught wind of the incident, and decided to make a video of the events, artfully piecing together media clips and details, highlighting how the World War II veterans were so distraught over the disrespect they witnessed at the game, that many of these elderly heroes "had tears flowing down their faces."
The video set off a social media firestorm, going on to rip apart the small Pittsburgh community. The following Monday, Thomas' phone line was flooded with irate people from all across America, and within a week, he received over 650 death threats. "Losing his composure" over the video according to one witness at the school, Thomas then reached out to the local media, so he could whine about how Sarah Slayer's video had made him a victim, then going on to accuse the journalist of piecing together false details about him. It's "ripped apart our community … ripped apart my household," said Thomas whined. But in addition to being the most hated man in Pittsburg, Thomas was about to also be proven a liar, which you can see from Slayer's SECOND VIDEO that proves that Thomas knew about his cheerleaders' planned protest, but did nothing to stop it.
Karma still wasn't quite done calling however. Due to the massive amount of death threats, police had to be called to be called to do regular patrols around the school, and according to MSN, the school's homecoming game had to be cancelled "amidst major safety concerns."
"It elicited passionate reactions from both sides, but particularly from those who felt the protests flied in the face of area veterans who were on hand to serve as the honor guard for the game," MSN reported. "Critics of the protesters later published a video that trickled on to social media directly calling out the teens and leaving some concerned about their safety at Friday's game."
It's unfortunate that due to the careless actions of this school's leadership along with 12 bratty high school cheerleaders, the entire school is now having to suffer. While your First Amendment rights do entitle you to be jackass and protest World War II veterans' sacrifice, don't be surprised when pissed off Americans respond and put you right back in your place!
CORNELL SCHOOL DISTRICT OCT 10- 14 412-264-5010
Yes, I believe so.
Well Done!!!
I think that’s one of the aims of this protest movement, to stop the acknowledgement of our great country at public events.
frankly, I think I would rather see America handed over to Radical Islamics than Radical liberals.
NFL is doing tight shots so they are not showing the crappers or cutting to commercials to avoid it right after the Anthem.
Don’t get fooled into thinking they got the message, they are just going around it. 2 games this weekend did this. Look for more of it.
Well the super and his gerbil cheerleaders caused the entire school to miss a season game and the circle jerk and twerk that now passes as a “ home coming dance”
Here is Aaron Thomas’s phone number: 412 264 5010.
Does the idiot Superintendent still have his job?
If so, why?
I am betting those cheerleaders are quite familiar with being on their knees.
Most are soon to be welfare baby factories. Horrible to say but it’s TRUE.
Sorry...I didn't know how to capture the YouTube link at Sarah Slayer's FB page, but her second, follow-up video is there. The first part of the 2nd video extols folks not to make death threats...the last part details the aftermath. Apparently Holy Hell rained down on the school.
Good.

Intimations of intent by the author aside, this is the rotten part.
That man should not be in the position of superintendent.
Did anything change? Are those same rude cheerleaders still wearing the school uniform?
“Apparently the GOP holds more positions in elected office in American history.
But we continue to see stories like this.”
What exactly do you expect the GOP to do? Pass another law?
Get some photos and names and put them up on 4Chan /b/. That will be then end of this for a while.
Ah ha...
This is Prissy Holly...the young blonde online firebrand “reporter” that started the #hillarygropedme meme.
FWIW, some of my family went to school in what is now called “Cornell.” It covers the area (Neville Island Dravo Co shipyard) that during WWII manufactured many LSTs. John Kasich was from Coraopolis, which is also in the district. Before the area changed, it was filled with good, patriotic, hard working families.
Absolutely nothing.
Haven't you heard? Trump grabbed a some girls Megyn thirty years ago. Get your priorities straight.
What exactly do you expect the GOP to do? Pass another law?
Do what the Left does. Win. Put a stop to this crap.
If a political party in a nation holds more positions in elected office at every level and is STILL losing, then something is WRONG.
Do you mean "Lift Every Voice and Sing"? I don't think so. Too patriotic. In fact, I thought it was a World War I song before I learned of its background.
If HRC wins, "We Are the World" will likely be our new National Anthem.
