Connecticut High School School Bans Use of ‘White’ in Sports Chants
One of the most classic chants is simply shouting the school’s name or colors back and forth among parts of the crowd. For one Connecticut high school, however, this practice has come under fire.
East Hampton High, whose school colors are blue and white, has been told they can no longer chant “blue” and “white” because the use of “white” is problematic. Principal John Fidler wrote in a note to students that “given the current social climate across our country, our use of the ‘white’ cheer is under suspension.” Fidler added that students should show pride for their teams “through other means.”
--------------------------------------
Get that? They have a TRADITION of chanting BLUE AND WHITE at their games. They are told to not chant the part where they say WHIIITE!!! Why? Cause it is racist and not sensitive towards BLAAAACKS.
