A Missouri school district’s superintendent has apologized to the community after students turned their backs on a rival school’s basketball team in what some are calling a racially motivated display.
According to KSHB-TV, during a basketball game between Warrensburg High School and Center High School, Warrensburg students turned their backs on Center’s team as the school’s starting roster was announced. One of the students held up a campaign sign for President-elect Donald Trump.
The Kansas City Star described Center’s basketball team as “predominantly black.”
“Where it went over the line is when they held up the [Trump] sign,” Warrensburg R6 School District Superintendent Dr. Scott Patrick told KSHB. “There’s no reason for that to occur at a basketball game so they just took it too far and it was insensitive and not appropriate.”

I don’t know but at the Jesuit university called Gonzaga the students routinely turn their back to the other teams starting 5...
I am calling it a false flag operation.
Looking to make race an issue again.
Wth?? “Where it went over the line is when they held up the [Trump] sign,” - So what, is that like holding up a swastika or something? Sorry bub, you best get used to seeing “T R U M P” as he is your new president.
The story is from a fake news site so I doubt there was anything to it.
I agree its liberal BS. Fits the narrative of the whole leftist “Trump is supported by the KKK” meme.
Trump isn’t about race
Its people like Kaepernick who promote politicization of race.
Exactly. It [just] seems to scripted and probably some type of razzing or initiation...The story stinks to me.
Smells fishy.
I guess it’s now “sticks and stones may break my bones, but hold up a Trump sign, and I’m going to be scarred for life”
I think you mean Cheetos.
Screw Glenn Beck and The Blaze!!
So, teachers can spout anti trump crap but students can’t hold up a sign. By the way, was the other school “predominantly” white?
The tradition of the student section turning its back on the opposing team is a longstanding one. The only thing different is the Trump sign.
Looking to make race an issue again.

nope.
trying to blame everything from headaches to hemorrhoids on trump.
It is clearly racist that a basketball team is predominantly black - blatant discrimination against Asians and Caucasians.
Where are the Japanese in the NBA?
This is the civil rights struggle of 2017!
T R U M P
The new alphabet, minus “T R U M P” will be only 21 letters.
What words will be remaining?
We got real trouble.
All these letters rate high on the frequency tables.
I assume it was to psych out the opposing team. It’s done all the time.
Apparently now, “President Trump” is some offensive racist thing. They could have held up “loser” signs, or “chokers”, but can’t use racist stuff like the name of the new president.
Well then, if 'some' are calling it a racially motivated display, then of course it must be.
After all, whatever 'some' say, do, or think must be the only permissible, correct, absolute truth.
Wait, wut?
