NC cheerleaders on probation after posing with Trump signs
https://www.fox46charlotte.com/news/nc-cheerleaders-on-probation-after-posing-with-trump-signs STANLY COUNTY, N.C. - A North Carolina cheerleading squad is in trouble after displaying signs supporting President Donald Trump at a football game. The North Stanly High School squad has been placed on probation after posing with a banner supporting President Trump before a game at the end of last month. The school said a student attending the game brought the flag in, and the picture was taken before the game started, and Stanly County superintendent Dr. Jeff James says the team was told not to do it again. I updated the picture to one with the faces blurred out to prevent any further scoring comments. Geez folks, these are kids. |

I don’t agree however I’m sure they would’ve done the exact same thing for an Obama or Hillary banner so I guess it’s OK.

They or another organization should take a picture with a Bernie Sanders poster and expose the school system "leadership" for what it is...

They are just creating more conservative voters in the future....
I have been having great conversations with a college freshman in my church recently. He is doing his best to watch coverage from both sides of the media. His said yesterday that he initially chalked up the Pres’ “fake news” up to just bloviating but after reading/ finding out more about sharpie-gate and the Dorian incident he now understands just how biased some news is. We talked about The irishman’s comments at the debate and this student without prompting said confiscation of weapons was the kickoff to the Revolutionary War. So perhaps there is hope for the up and comers. He also wants to go shooting, so we’re finding a time to sling some lead. |

Freedom of speech?
Now, if the school permitted athletes or cheerleaders to appear in school uniform for other political events, there is a real issue at hand. |

From the link.
All North Carolina schools have a policy against displaying political signs. A statement from the Stanly County School district said, it part: "Stanly County Schools respects the rights of its students, staff, and visitors to express their opinions in a respectful manner on their own time, however, Stanly County Board of Education policy prohibits the display or distribution of political advertisements on campus or at school events. Further, Stanly County Schools never makes political campaign endorsements. These policies ensure that all students, staff and visitors are able to attend school events in an environment that promotes students and not a particular political viewpoint." The North Carolina High School Athletic Association said the probation was not a punishment, but a "notice of behavior or action that is against NCHSAA Handbook Policy or contrary to expectations of sportsmanship and proper behavior." They say if the behavior continues, fines or suspensions could be implemented. View Quote |

If it had been a rainbow flag they would have been celebrated.

Meanwhile, in the teacher parking lot, there are probably Bernie, Mayor Pete, Warren, etc. stickers all over.

School would have let the rules bend if they agreed with the message.

Trump should give them all scholarships to the university of their choosing. Fuck that school.

Similar situation happened here and the school just lost the suit
School told girl/student to stop handing out valentines cards. She worked the channels at the school, they didn’t back down. She filed a 1st amendment suit. She asked for, and won, damages of $1. "There can be no doubt that in handing out her home-made Valentines to her fellow students, friends, and staff at NWTC, Olsen was engaged in a constitutionally protected form of expression. Olsen's conduct bears some resemblance to “handbilling” which has been defined as “the practice of offering written material—be it handbills, pamphlets, tracts, advertisements, booklets, notices or other information—to individuals in public places for their acceptance or rejection," reads Hon. Griesbach's ruling.
He continues, "As an initial matter, Olsen did not need a public forum in order to lawfully convey her messages. While Olsen’s conduct bears some similarity to handbilling, it was not handbilling in the traditional sense. Traditional handbilling refers to handing out the same written material to members of the public in general, such as a pamphlet, advertisement, booklet, or campaign material. Each of the Valentines Olsen handed out, however, had a different message directed not to the public in general but to the person to whom she gave the Valentine." View Quote |
