High School Cheerleaders Punished For Supporting President Trump

[BasicHumanUnit]

Sure, but you think lots of goofy stuff.

You want Socialism, gun confiscation and Open Borders (and MS-13 that comes with it etc etc etc)........

But you say I think "goofy" stuff ?

 

[G.T.]

A NC cheerleader squad was suspended from school for committing the ultimate sin.....supporting Donald Trump. All they did was take a picture standing around a Trump for president 2020 sign. This should be against the law and serious fines and jail sentences should be enforced for this oppressive conduct by anyone who thinks they can get away with bigotry and fascism.

Hatred and the divisiveness has spread all over America. This is the future Obama hoped for when he talked of transforming America. He wanted a country filled with bigots who hated whites or anyone who votes for Republicans. Women aren't women anymore if they support the president. Blacks aren't blacks anymore if they support the president. Gays aren't really gay if they support the president. Democrats can get away with murder, but if you're a Trump supporter your enemies will destroy you by any means possible, and this destruction will be cheered by the masses. Mob-rule in a nutshell.

Pious politicians preach to us about the rule of law while at the same instant they're squashing Trump supporter's due process. Who you are matters more than what you did. This isn't America. This is a fascist state ruled by a bunch of maniacal jerks with TDS. The elite in academia and in Hollywood screaming for the names of Trump supporters in their ranks. They want to punish anyone who dares to have an open mind. They want Trump supporters identified and shunned....forced out of the business......and this conduct was encouraged by communists in the Democrat Party no less. At first it seemed harmless, but now it's become deadly.

In the past....when someone said something that was obviously a lie about me or anyone else who knows the difference between right and wrong...I used to laugh about it...or simply ignore it.....but now it's impossible to ignore. The lies are becoming so insane and so ridiculous.....the crap these people say so obviously flies in the face of known facts....the deception....the fabrications....the malicious nature of what they say.....I actually just want to backhand them in the face. This is not right. Why can't we just get along and be allowed to hold our own opinions without being attacked. I can't watch the news for more than a few minutes without changing to a DVD of Modern Family or Big Bang Theory, something funny. The news has become unwatchable. It's no small wonder that people are literally losing their minds and their sense of decency. Peace in America is an impossibility under these conditions. That's why I feel strongly that anyone who spreads this kind of hatred should be indicted and charged with a felony.

If this country is so oppressive to you, you are free to pack your shit and go.

and how does this address the topic at hand?

if you're unhappy with trump, pick up your shit and go. but i'm betting that doesn't work for you.

The topic at hand is we have an OP that wants to make it a felony to dislike the President, and is mad that a public, tax-payer funded school doesn't allow its students to promote political parties in their official capacity (in School's cheerleading Uniform)...so that it's not recognized as an official school position.

It's been this way for most public schools since...they were born.

What the OP suggest regarding making it a felony to dislike a President is what actually deserves scrutiny - I cannot imagine a bigger/bolder way to shout that you consider the President your Messiah, your Gawd incarnate, or a bigger way to be a ball-carrying sycophant. Pretty gross!

You thought the same when kindergarteners were forced to sing a song praising obama?

I thought what? Can you please elucidate what you think my post that you quoted says about my personal thoughts -

 

[G.T.]

and i think that premise is stupid and just as bad as the problem he's trying to resolve. i think the community is doing what they should do. support these kids and show that showing support for our gov in general is just fine.

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association has a policy against promoting political campaigns, it does not matter whose campaign it is.

and that was going to be my next question - overall policy. i've just not had time to dive into it.

To avoid any confusion, I am just going by what the NCHSAA said and what I was told by my sister, an educator in NC for the last 25 years who happens to also be a massive Trump supporter.

nah - i got what you are saying. if a school or place of work has rules against it and it is enforced evenly to all, then they should have expected this to be the response. if they can point to a group doing this for obama and NOT getting the same suspension, then it could be an issue; just have to get the details.

This is exactly the measured response that this situation deserves ^ .

Unfortunately, a bunch of dolts are going to spend 500 pages in this thread crying about free-speech issues and also bringing up a bunch of non-sequiturs and then it will become a shit-show like every other political hack discussion.

Depends - were they advised of the rule before-hand? If not, then maybe just asking them to stop would have resolved the issue.

If they were advised of the rule and then did it anyway? Then some form of repercussions seem appropriate, yes.

Not licking the ass of my political masters should be illegal.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Trump hatred should be illegal ???

Is this a serious position?


What they did to the cheerleaders is clearly a violation of their rights to free speech but what you proposed in your title is even worse.

Actually, it is really not a violation of their rights to free speech, the group they are a part of has rules against supporting a political campaign while representing the NCHSAA. They agreed to follow these rules. They broke the rules and were given a warning. It is no different than if you went to work and started campaigning for someone openly to all your co-workers. Your boss would have every right to tell you to stop

The school had a policy. Get overf it,

But I certainly believe that Trump & his band of feeble minded followers would love to quiet the voice of real Americans who reject the flow of hate & the destruction of our country.

I don't live in Venezuela. I've never been to Venezuela.

I think ALL Leftists who think Socialism is good should be forced to go live there for at least one month.

They would never like Socialism again.

Sure, but you think lots of goofy stuff.

I find it laughable that Russian trolls are telling people to go to Venezuela to find out about socialism. When the rest of the free world wants to point out the excesses and failures of capitalism, they point to the USA, specificially to your medical industrial complex.

You "for-profit" medicine, insurance and food industries have given Americans the fattest, least healthy population in the first world, with the highest rates of obesity, drug addiction and suicide in the first world. Your medical industrial complex created this opoid epidemic because drug addicts make the BEST customers. Now they recycle them through 28 day drug treatment programs, not because 28 days is the optimum time for drug treatment, but because 28 days is the amount of time your insurance will pay for a treatment facility.

For profit medicine has the life expectance of Americans DECLINING in each of the past three years, while the rest of the world is living longer, healthier lives.

And all they did was tell them to stop, they did not keep them from participating in the sporting events.

It was not the school, it was the State Athletic Association, and the rule applies to all political views.

If this country is so oppressive to you, you are free to pack your shit and go.

So Mudwhistle points out a CLEAR violation of the First Amendment and the Left's absolute intolerance, and you tell him he can leave the country if he doesn't like it?

There is nothing that could have solidified his point better than you just did.

Mudwhistle PROMOTED the violation of the 1st, and the School is not violating the 1st because, while in uniform, the kids are representing the school and it's a tax-payer funded school. There's outlier cases, but tax-payer funded schools do not use the school's capacity to promote politicians. That's completely ridiculous to pretend not to understand. This is what politics does to you weirdos.

/—-/ Got any fake outrage over this? Elementary School Students Taught Pro-Obama Songs
“A video showing elementary school students learning songs praising Barack Obama for his "great accomplishments" and efforts to "make this country's economy No. 1 again" is generating anger from conservatives today.

In the video at left, students at New Jersey's B. Bernice Young Elementary School are shown singing about the president, in one case to the tune of "Jesus Loves the Little Children,"

I don't have any outrage for either case - I'm not the outrage pimp - I'm the one that confronts them with reality.

/----/ I'm responding to this quote from your post. "but tax-payer funded schools do not use the school's capacity to promote politicians. "
But perhaps fake outrage was a bit much. Sorry

Wow...You actually believe it should be a felony to dislike Trump. Seek professional help, please.

Nope.....you can dislike him all you want.
Punishing people for supporting Trump should be a felony.

I think ALL Leftists who think Socialism is good should be forced to go live there for at least one month.

They would never like Socialism again.

Conversely, I think idiots who believe Venezuela is the only example of Socialism should be sent to Germany, Switzerland or the Netherlands to see that you can have robust capitalist economies and still provide healthcare and education to your citizens.

Germany and Switzerland aren't examples of purely socialist states.
Venezuela is.
