In case you havent noticed, racially charged political movements are invading every area of American life. High school football games are no exception. Parents attending a football game at Lakewood High School in suburban Cleveland, Ohio, were outraged when someone took to the public address system before the game to declare that the school would henceforth be an agent of change in combatting systemic racism in society as a whole.
All of the visiting parents were completely caught off guard, popular Cleveland radio host Bob Frantz, whose son was playing in the game, told PJ Media. We were standing respectfully for the playing of the Lakewood alma mater, and when it ended they began a new song, which turned out to be Lift Every Voice and Sing. Also known as the black national anthem, the song is featured before NFL stadiums as a part of the BLM movement.
Then, when [the announcer] began telling everyone how horribly racist American society is, we were livid, said Frantz, who hosts Frantz Authority on Salem affiliate 1420 The ANSWER. Most of us sat down immediately, and the three dads near me, all of whom were police officers, were visibly angry. One said he would have walked out if it wasnt his sons senior season.
As the marching band played the black national anthem, the announcement continued over the public address system: Let us pause and reflect on the inequality that our nation has faced since its beginning.

Nice to know that your tax dollars are being handled wisely.
Lets sees now,
the off spring of MY generation brought us seat belts, no riding in the back of pickup or front of car and generally changed the rules of parenting because we must have done such a terrible job.
Now, the off spring of the ‘seat belt’ generation’ + are bringing us masks, social awareness etc because ALL before them had botched things up.
I was wondering why the ‘youth’ hadn’t rebelled against the masks and ‘figured it out’ the day a 30ish year old bank teller lectured me on the perils of my NOT wearing a mask.
He did get ‘upset’ at me when I asked him why he would accept a ‘bag of money’ from me and I would go sit down some 15 feet away and he would put a mask and gloves on to count it (touching OTHER things) finish counting it and taking the mask off. OR what good did the others think they were doing with the mask(s) below the nose etc.
He REALLY got ‘upset’ when I told him if he was going through all that, he should sanitize EVERY bill and change gloves for each new one.....
So apparently this is my ‘grandkids’ generational gift, the constant wearing of masks and bring ‘Chicken Little’ into a whole new light.
You didn’t know your school was Radical Left until not ?
It’s why there was the Hitler Youth and the Young Pioneers.
So was the Continental Army, the defenders at the Alamo, and the D-day invasion. It is the history of our nation. . .when AMERICANS are outnumbered, we don't surrender. . we say NUTS!
True. Or they got that because the left stuffed the ballot box. We seem to forget that happens routinely. We suffered 8 years of Obama, and I guarantee you I didnt vote for that ever.
My sister lives in Evanston Illinois, which is a very similar-sounding suburb of Chicago. Her daughter, my niece, is on the colorguard for the marching band, and before one game, some old veterans were brought out in wheelchairs for the national anthem. The band will not play the anthem but it is played over the PA system. All the other members of the band and colorguard knelt. I am proud that my niece was the only one who remained standing.
Don't worry, ignorance CAN be cured.
Cleveland was named for Moses Cleaveland. So 'mistake by the lake' (I always heard 'mistake on the lake' when I lived there) referred to the misspelling of the city's official name.
So it's a well deserved slam.
If you live in a lefty school district you can accept this by letting your children be brainwashed or you can send them to private school or you can home school them.
Parents just got a small sample of what their kids are getting all day every day. If they like it they can leave their kids in it.
Parents are outraged? Did they pull their kids off the field and walk out?
They weren’t that ‘outraged’ if they didn’t.
The crux of the biscuit ...
Ummm....Looks to me more like the native Americans were indomitable, preferring to fight and die rather than accept capture and enslavement.
Just sayin'...
That’s exactly how the left gets away with this crud.
They don’t like competition so they ruin it. They win if they are allowed to do these demonstrations and they win if football goes away.
I got a refund for my EKU football tickets this year because they released a political statement, the sideline people wore T-shirts that read "Say Their Names" on one side and "Enough Is Enough" on the other, and they had an angry clinched fist decal on their helmets. I bought football tickets to watch football, not to donate to a policital cause, especially one based on a pack of lies.
If anyone wants more detail I can send it to you via FReeper Mail.
Oh, and I’m going to contact my state representatives and try to get legislation that any school accepting state money should be forbidden from making political statements.
Thats exactly how the left gets away with this crud.
“A house divided cannot stand, it will be all one or all the other.”
But it does mean there is going to be a fight, so we should all prepare.
I went to a BLM rally - and a high school football game broke out!
Post that often. Needs to broadcast
Or “Jesus Matters”.
I have said over and over to those pontificating about watching anything else but NFL, et al....dont be so naive. You know every venue will pull this. There is so much treasonous hatred for this country permeating everywhere for easily the last 50 years.
Of course, these traitors are the same bastards that insist they have no power.
