Basketball at tournament gets benched for Trump and white power hand signs




 
Basketball is benched for Trump.
Above is a photo posted on Facebook of Chamberlain, SD, high school students taken Tuesday at a basketball playoff game in Huron.  Note the school colors are red and white, which are in abundance in the photo.  But the presence of the American flag colors with the Trump 2020 campaign sign indicates the primary motive was not to cheer the Chamberlain Cubs team on in its 56-48 win over Flandreau.  And given that the 2020 election was held five months ago, the presence of the campaign banner is irrelevant to the occasion.  But it is relevant to what seems to be on the minds of the students in the stands.

Even if this occurred during the campaign before the election, it would raise questions about who sponsored and organized the demonstration.  Some commenters to the posting have already spoken to the school district superintendent.  An investigation will probably not produce the names pf parents and teachers, if any, involved, but the students certainly know.  That information is important as these kids are shown in defiance of every precaution for controlling the coronavirus:  gathering in a large group with no masks apparent.

Here are the people in charge:

What a bunch of crap ! These students are free to express themselves even if you don't agree with them ! I am proud of them ! Leave them alone ! White power hand signs ? Really ? If these students had all been black would you feel the same way ?
