LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Officials at Walt Disney World said Friday that a performance by a visiting Texas high school drill team that used American Indian stereotypes, including chants of “scalp them,” doesn’t reflect the Florida resort’s values.
The performance this week in the Magic Kingdom by the “Indianettes” drill team from Port Neches-Grove High School “did not reflect our core values, and we regret it took place,” Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said in an emailed statement.
An audition tape that the school had provided in order to be selected to perform at the theme park resort was inconsistent with the actual performance, the statement said.
Wahler said new measures have been implemented to prevent that from happening again. She did not elaborate.
In a video of the performance posted on Twitter, members of the drill team are seen tapping their hands over their mouths and whooping, as a drum pounds in the background, in what is stereotypically called a “war cry.”

Next up, discontinue the sales of those Davy Crockett caps.
No, but if they had been cheerleaders kissing one another, or trans acting any way they wanted, all would be fine.
Scalp them?! I am not certain that I would advocate such verbiage from a drill dance team either. There are probably lots of Democrats who would want to do scalping of Republicans, yet that is another story to be theorized.
You mean those Coon skin caps, ahhh, I mean Racoon skin caps.
Disney = perverts.
I agree, I’m far from politically correct but chanting “scalp ‘em” is a bit much.
“Make’em too much noise!”

Gotta ban that movie Meatballs then.
If they had been zipper opened trannies, they would love it.
Yeah... but that’s how it starts. You give these libs an inch and they take a mile.
This is how PC works. The Washington Redskins had “scalp em” in their team song. It was removed decades ago. Didn’t stop them. Now they have changed the Redskins name entirely. Afterwards they are removing the name from history. On to the Cleveland Indians.
These are fanatical white liberals you are agreeing with. The tribes hate this crap.
Cowards.
Me and my brother used to have those caps.
And we appropriated a pair of war Bonners and rubber tipped spears, too
I wasn’t aware that Disney had values any longer after the institution of Gay Days at Walt Disney World.
“bonnets “
HeeHee
Well, well.
Eighth time, same performance.
Sounds like some prog at Disney World knew exactly what they would do, said nothing, then jumped up acting all "offended" so they could get a big fat load of virtue signaling prog street cred.
Which is EXACTLY what a slimy little prog would do.
.
I thought the Indians/Native Americans/Indigenous People/term du jour learned about scalping from French fur trappers.
OH PHOEY!
Y’all just PISS OFF!
Go watch the original animated Peter Pan — if you can even find a copy — and then whoop and cry about “native American” representations.
This ENTIRE thing is INVENTED; window dressing, faux outrage over a faux offense, to appease people with faux values.
There’s neither a lick of truth nor sense in ANY aspect of this entire story.
Now the Cleveland Indians are gone. Next will be the Golden State Warriors, the Atlanta Braves, the Florida State Seminoles, the Illinois Illini and the Utah Utes.
