A week after authorities placed a North Carolina high school cheerleading squad on probation for displaying a pro-Trump banner before a football game, school officials abruptly canceled the school's Friday night game due to safety concerns.
On Monday, the cheerleading team at North Stanly High School, about 50 miles east of Charlotte, was put on probation by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association after an investigation determined that the squad had violated school policy by posing with a "Trump 2020: Make America Great Again" banner prior to a game on Aug. 30, according to Asheville ABC affiliate WLOS.

That'll show 'em. As has been said, if this had been during the Hussein regime, and MMM, MMM, MMM was done in chorus by the cheerleaders, the media would've loved it.

So, were they worried that Antifa might show up with their violent selves? Or, were they afraid there'd be TOO much REAL (not the fake hussein worship) support for the President? The NCHSAA and the Stanley County Schools are the authorities and school officials. Top heavy and overkill, maybe? The taxpayers were planning to wave flags at last night's game. The school board said, "You can't have a flag at the game." They actually called parents and TOLD them not to bring flags!! Not only do they want to deprive the students of their rights, but the taxpayers too! Fire them all!

WRAL, the NBC affiliate in Raleigh reported this morning on the rally held Friday to support students who were suspended for posting a photo on social media with sign in support of the POTUS while wearing their cheerleader uniforms. WRAL news commentator added the snarky remark that no one in a cheerleader uniform was spotted at the rally. Duh? They were suspended for being in the presence of a DJT sign, imagine what NCHSAA would have done to them if they wore their uniforms to a rally complete with American flags and MAGA hats? NBC = TDS and they can't help themselves.

Another bit of evidence, popping up here and there across America, that We The People have had enough of keeping quiet about our politics and love of country. Decades of staying quiet so as not to "offend" are coming to a close. We have rights, too. We've run out of other cheeks to turn.

It seems that stupidity is a lot like quicksand for the libs. Act like a dicktater one time and you are required to do it over and over and over. Just like looking for Trump impeachment reasons under every rock. Just like defending one of Obama's lies. The morons who run this school just ruined the entire season.

In America, you are permitted to say what you believe - in public, in private, in schools, in churches, in stores and in restaurants.
You are permitted to PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE.
Under the Constitution, you can be loaded for bear, cocked and locked, and carrying signs saying what you'd like to do to your opponents - provided you dont take that last step and DO IT. Any laws, regulations and government declarations to the contrary are illegal, and in themselves tyranical.
And any private counter protest that does not cross those lines is also permitted.
And any violence done may be defended against.
Government Goobers, and people like Antifa, would do well to remember this.

Another little tempest in a teacup that is revealing exactly who the fascists are in this country. Where was the outrage when those little children were singing the praises of Obama like little stepford kids? I was appalled when that happened. The unhinged left are very fragile creatures. God willing, November 4, 2020 is going to be a very interesting day.

It would be an absolute hoot if President Trump showed up at one of their games. He could do it, you know, and it wouldn't even make the evening news.

The Cheerleaders were cheering America and our President. They have every right to do that.
Then to be suspended from school... reason enough to home-school, find another school or community college.
Bet they get invited to the White House!

What spineless, yellow-bellied cowards these so-called school officials are. We fought WARS so our personal freedoms would endure-and here they are just cowering in fear. Arrest Antifa ON SIGHT-they are a clan of misfits who exist to intimidate. Where has our courage gone?

So the NCHSA got its panties in a bunch because of one MAGA sign? Off hand, I would say if the girls posed with the sign BEFORE the game, they can do whatever they want. Sounds like a First Amendment issue here. Girls, find a big name attorney willing to work on a contingency fee basis and sue the NCHSA bigly.
Indeed, the elements of fascism that are showing up in the country need to be put down as these are cluttering up our Republic. A Trump/Pence landslide in November 2020 will be a great step in the right direction.

No flag waving at the game?
Heehee. It just gives the taxpayers time to purchase KAG hats and shirts.
Add a few Betsy Ross shirts. And a host of other patriotic clothing.
The school will increase ticket sales. The conservative community will be woke. I wonder if they have a negative policy for conservative tailgating before and after the games

We think it’s INappropriate for athletes to advertise their politics when we disagree with them, but totally appropriate when we agree?
That's how liberals think.
How about cheerleaders and athletes stick to the game or step aside and let someone else hungry to play have a chance? It’s high school football, fer-cryin-out-loud, not a political rally.

Bet they would not have minded if the banner was a slap at Trump regarding guns or globull warming though. Schools have become nothing more than speech suppression centers for anything the principal doesn't agree with.

Number 2 brings up two great points. Americans have the FIrst Amendment to allow freedom of speech and the freedom to be patriotic. Point 2, American Taxpayers OWN the schools. We will do what we please at functions we finance. Football is NOT education, it's something we allow them to do for fun and entertainment. I hope every cheerleader quits and every football player along with them. Even a few of the key people will kill the whole program. Liberals are the biggest buzzkill on Earth.

#5 & 19: Philosophically I agree that sporting events are not preferred venues for overt politicking, but that horse was stolen from the barn a long time ago. For fifty years the socialist/communists have politicized every aspect of life, even down to the razor a man should use. The Progs have turned our schools into their primary propaganda network. We all remember the Obama idolization that was impressed upon our children beginning in kindergarten.
The same people that were in charge of our schools during the dark Obama years still hold their positions of authority and influence. They are actively suppressing speech and actions that a short time ago they whole hardheartedly endorsed, only because the content has changed. We cannot cede this vital battleground to enemy control, nor can we cede any ground the Progs occupy.
It is the socialist/communists that introduced the principle that the personal is political. To regain the personal we must fight its politicization by forcing our opposition to live up to their own rules. They use Alinsky's Rules as their primary weapon and thousands of those weapons litter our cultural battlefield. When has it ever been known in war that one side will not pick up, and use, the weapons an enemy left upon the field?
MAGA - Alls fair in love and war. We love our country and they are at war with it.

Showing a pro Trump sign is off limits to so called educators, but letting kids out of class to protest climate change is just hunky dory.

There a small item called the First Amendment, but then again they teach history any more.
I bet if it was a Warren or Bernie banner it would have been okay. So I suggest that the parents of these very fine cheerleaders sue the stuffing out of the principle, the teacher/coach and the school board for violating their rights.
