The comments below the video are pretty interesting. One person says she was in the crowd that night and “Not only that, but many of us witnessed their complete disrespect for their authorities including cussing and inappropriate sign language.” Evidently they got suspended more for their behavor after the cheer than the cheer itself. And if they swore at the administrators and flipped them off, then I tend to side with the school.
What the kids did that you have mentioned I disagree with as well. As a parent and a leader though, you have to realize that you can’t hold kids responsible for doing unacceptable things when you have acted in a manner that makes a mountain out of a molehill. IMO the school leaders turned these events into a death spiral. When the teachers acted in an unacceptable manner, the kids resorted to the same type of behavior.
“I know what you did wasn’t offensive, but you didn’t check with me first so I’m throwing you off the field.”
Frankly, I’d have flipped the son of a B off too, and my language would have probably have mirrored what the kids did.
