A high school basketball tournament on the Northern California coast has become the latest flashpoint in the ongoing protests over police killings of unarmed black men after a school was disinvited because of concerns its players would wear T-shirts printed with the words "I Can't Breathe" during warmups.

The athletic director at Fort Bragg High School informed his counterpart at Mendocino High School this week that neither the boys nor girls team would be allowed to participate in the three-day tournament hosted by Fort Bragg High starting Monday, Mendocino Unified School District Superintendent Jason Morse said.

Maybe if someone could explain the actual story to the children? Facts included. Most of the didiots believe that the cops just jumped on him and put him in a chokehold(?) for no reason. Twitter feeds and instagrams and facebook accounts seem to be all they need to pump up some bogus BS. I can't believe the coach saying "I didn't even know what it meant. I thought it was a joke about how I had conditioned them so hard,". Not buying it. How long before the aclu or splc show up to stand up for their rights to be brainless, manipulated lemmings? Thanks to the athletic director from Ft.Bragg HS for trying to slow down the lies being fed to these kids but.......... Well you know.

Breathrite should make an “I can breathe” shirt.

Of course it would have to be a white t-shirt with black print to really make a statement.

Hand down, pants up.

Give a hoot, don’t burn and loot.

Don’t act tough, we won’t cuff.

There should be a t-shirt that says: If you can't "breathe" why don't you shut up?

During the 60's when the police were called "PIG" our local cops started wearing a pig badge that said:

Pride
Integrity
Guts

That shut up the cop haters REAL fast.
Some folks just don't realize what a country is like without a decent, honest "thin blue line." They ought to live in those places for a month, no, a day, no, an hour, and see what it's like.

I can't believe the coach saying "I didn't even know what it meant...

Blatant lie. Even the most clueless people have heard of it, if they follow pro ball at all.

Social media is a force multiplier for the Left, and they know how to use it better than we do.

I have the intuition they're about to find out...

“Social media is a force multiplier for the Left, and they know how to use it better than we do”.

I suppose that is correct since a lot of us refuse to get sucked into that “hole” social media BS in the first place. Somebody’s making some money off it.

You may be right.

And when they find they can longer sleep safely in their beds at night because rough men are no longer there to stand between them and those who would do them harm, I’ll take a moment from polishing my feed ramps to offer them the following sage advice:
“Just remember to breathe.”

There’s nothing more amusing or pathetic than bourgeois white kids embracing ghetto culture and all its destructive influences.

There is a deeper problem here than the death of people trying to over power police...it is this (CPUSA) using blacks as their slaves to cause feigned offense which in turn gives these people the "right" to smash, break windows and loot aka steal. You can count on one hand the Whites who joined in the Blacks Night Out.

Not only money - they've been refining it as a tool for Socialism.

The UK riots three years ago were a perfect field experiment for them, as were the Occutards the next year.

[Tired of Taxes]

Of possible interest to homeschoolers

[NorthstarMom]
