ALBEMARLE, N.C. (WBTV) – Officials say the Friday night football game that was scheduled for North Stanly High School has been canceled due to security concerns amid debate surrounding the recent probation of cheerleaders at the school.

According to a tweet from Stanly County Schools, the school district says they have been notified of additional information that could compromise safety measures in place for sporting events.

“Safety is our first concern,” the tweet from the school district read.

The decision comes amid controversy surrounding the probation of cheerleaders at North Stanly High School after photos made the rounds on social media of the girls posing with a TRUMP 2020 sign during a Friday night football game. They are still allowed to cheer, but have been put on notice to discontinue this type of behavior by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.

An event was planned to support the cheerleaders where the public was invited to join to wave flags across from the school Friday night before the now-canceled game. The event was reportedly planned as a peaceful demonstration and is scheduled to take place across from the school at 6 p.m. on Friday.

School officials did not say what “additional information” led to this decision or if it had anything to do with the event.

No further information was provided regarding the cancellation of Friday night’s game.

Additional information: Tolerant Marxist school administrators said they would turn their backs if any of their liberation minded students wanted to deal with those evil Trump supporters

Some students support Trump. In spite of all our attempts to turn them Marxist in their 12 years of public education. Therefore we will punish everyone.

Hopefully this will teach any future ‘Trump supporters’ to keep their improper thoughts to themselves!

Thank you,

The Administration

ps, anyone wishing to punish those evil Trump supporting students off campus is free to do so.

LOL... If you want teenagers to do something a lot, just tell them they are not allowed to do it.

This will probably result in a lot of teenagers in that school turning into Trump supporters.

Remember when students were punished for displaying Obama signs? Me neither.

Well Heck . . .

In my First Grade classroom, there was a portrait of George Washington hanging on the front wall.

I guess it worked. I remember it. And he is still the first President.

A climate change rally, on the other hand, would have been vigorously promoted.

If they told us we could not wave a banner in support of the president when we were in high school, that is exactly what we would have done over and over and over.

What could they do, suspend us? We laughed every time they threatened that.
