Every heart beats true ‘neath the red, white and blue – although some people apparently see overt displays of patriotism as offensive to immigrants and refugees.
George M. Cohan probably never thought about adding that coda to his patriotic anthem “You're a Grand Old Flag,” and the Iowa high school students who donned red, white and blue to support their men’s basketball team last week probably didn’t think about their actions being controversial. But the patriotic garb worn by some Valley High School students on Wednesday upset students at Des Moines North High School, which is described as being more diverse and full of refugee families.
“Any normal person, any educated person can look at that and think, ‘What the hell are these kids thinking?’” North High School assistant coach Morgan Wheat told WHOTV.com.
Now, North High basketball coach Chad Ryan is speaking out -- and says it's possible the opposing team's fans may not have had sinister intentions. "What I will say is we’re proud of our diversity at North High School — not only on our basketball team, but our population."
Valley High School’s student council responded to the hullabaloo by sending an apology letter to Des Moines North students.
“It has been brought to our attention that the decision by the Valley High School student section to wear U.S.A. apparel at our game last night was offensive to members of your community and fan base,” the letter, obtained by the Des Moines Register, began. “We are deeply sorry if we have offended anyone in any way.”
The letter continued, “We have traditionally dressed in such a fashion for great games such as the one last night.

The Refugees should be wearing red, white and blue proudly. What is wrong with these people?
LOL.
Students Denounced as ‘Racist’ For Wearing Red, White and Blue Clothing at Basketball Game

They are “Texas Post Turtles”. No IDEA where they are or how they got there. Sorry Texas.
Pubic schools and teaching colleges and media were infected many decades ago by Marxist-socialists (anti-God, anti-family, anti-male, anti-individual). Children were indoctrinated, and now they’re ‘progressive’ adults, like those in this story.
America is in critical condition; nearly half its body has become cancerous, and are attacking the healthy cells everywhere.
What level of treatment is required for this?
I think if some minority or another, including blacks who are still only 14% of our total population and that does make them a minority, don’t like the USA so much they need to destroy it and what it stands for especially making an issue of redwhiteandblue then I think they need tickets to liberia.
The newer citizens could have worn red white and blue too.
Most blacks like living here - they're Americans. But for those blacks who don't - rather than destroying the country they can just move to some African First World paradise... and 'live the dream'.
Oh, you say most African countries are third world oppressive hellholes? Countries run by dictators - thugs who make Chicago Street Gang Leaders look like well-mannered Statesmen? Oh well... looks like Hollywood lied again... Maybe it's time for them to 'check their thin-skin'....
