High School Cheerleaders Are Now Kneeling During The National Anthem

High school cheerleaders are also kneeling during the national anthem, according to a testimony from two high schoolers in Union City, Calif.

Two high school students, Sasha Armbrester and Teana Boston, told NPR’s Youth Radio Friday that they are protesting police brutality at football games.

Armbrester, a cheerleader for James Logan High School’s football team, said that the two girls originally learned about race relations from taking the same ethnic studies class at school, which made them reconsider supporting the National Anthem.

“When Colin Kaepernick started taking a knee, a lot of people thought he was being unpatriotic. But for me and the other black cheerleaders on my team, we were inspired. We saw an opportunity to call attention to racial injustice,” said Armbrester.

Armbrester said she also got inspiration from her friend Boston, 16, who wrote a new version of the National Anthem, one that deals with racism, which Boston sang before a football game.

If we could pry you away from the usquebaugh and teach you the difference between a potato and a cotton, then maybe.

That’s the way it’s done at my local school too. Complete respect.

Proud to say that they will be saluting the flag when they play for the State Championship on Friday.

Follow them home and see what is behind the door . . .it will probably tell all.

More likely, follow them home and see who is not behind the door . . .it will probably tell all.

“they are protesting police brutality at football games.”

I haven’t heard of any increase of police brutality at football games.

snip-——Boston, 16, who wrote a new version of the National Anthem, one that deals with racism, which Boston sang before a football game.

“I did my research on what I was really singing about, and I have to realize that it’s not the land of the free,” said Boston.

One of Boston’s lines reads,”But there is something about this sight. He crawled in the street, hands spread out like his feet but he was still shot in his heart. And I don’t get that part,” in response to Trayvon Martin getting shot by a police officer.———snip

bad research or bad newspaper editing

I rolled my eyes so hard they fell out of my head. I wonder what this “ethnic” class is teaching these morons.

Can one get another full scholarship or unseat a more qualified person from universities or corporate positions by calling additional attention to racial injustice, and if so, is it transferable?

#10. re Teanna Boston. Well, her parents obviously knew something about American history, “tea” and “Boston”. Sounds like their daughter slept through that history lesson.

Lesson Learned: Some kids are just play stupid. It is not worth 15 seconds of fame for being stupid and a traitor out in the open. Loyal Americans have LONG MEMORIES, esp. when little shits like these apply for a job. “Oh, you’re the little America-hater who took a knee... The unemployment office is down the street”.

I hadn’t connected her first and last names. Good catch!

Spot on how a few minutes of youthful stupidity can haunt you a LONG time.
