EAST HAMPTON, Conn. – A Connecticut principal is siding with political correctness over school spirit by injecting race relations into a student chant.
easthamptonStudents at East Hampton High school have chanted “blue” and “white” – school colors – for years, but principal John Fidler thinks the word “white” could be construed as racist, so he posted a notice that the cheer is “under suspension,” WFSB reports.
Students, of course, immediately sounded off on social media.
“ … this stuff has me outraged they are trying to take a simple chant that our school has done for years and years,” Jordan Michnowicz posted to Facebook. “They are trying to make it about race.”
