Holy shit. NO. I'm really curious to see what the administration's response will be.

What happened with this? Any decent response from administration?

I'm curious to hear how they're handling it but I have a very hard time believing they didn't know about this before the game.  Don't teams/school organizations have to clear spirit themes with the administration BEFORE hand?  At least that's been my experience with every school I've been involved with as a student, teacher, or (now) parent.

I agree! These kids had tee shirts made for this "black out" game, there's NO WAY the admins didn't know!!! I'm still so pissed off

I am stalking this thread waiting for an update.

I got NOTHING yet...I forwarded the email to the superintendents admin asking if she was in the office and how soon can I expect a response. There's a school board meeting on Thursday that I'll be attending regardless if I get a response or not. It just makes me sick the number of adults that had to have been ok with this and none of them said SHIT!

Any chance 15 of your parent friends want to attend that school board meeting with you?? I don't know WTF is wrong with people, but I think that school board needs to see a strong showing that this blatantly racist bullshit is not tolerable.

Still nothing...one if the our state reps kids go to the same elementary school as my girls and is very active in the school and knows a lot of the administration and school board members. I forwarded my original email to him to see if that can light some type of fire under the superintendent

So disturbing on many levels

[persa]

Black Lavender, none of the news outlets picked it up either? What about posting it to some other social media outlet? I'm old so I don't know which one and how that works specifically but damn, that needs some press.

I agree that it's time to take it to social media. This shouldn't be ignored by the administration and it sure feels like it is.

Finally an update - I had to show my ass somewhat at the school board meeting last night, but there is going to be an notice to students about "etiquette" and "sensitivity" in regards to displaying school spirit. I said that wasn't enough and I expect the adults and admin members who were in attendance to be held accountable. So there's going to be a more formal investigation. I brought 8 community business owners & residents of the district who do not have children in the district (these two groups represent the vast majority of tax payers) for support.

good. I'm glad you pushed them to take additional action.

That response is BS and I'm glad you're demanding more accountability
