There are a lot of patriotic students at Vista Del Lago High School in Folsom, California. So you can imagine their shock when they were warned that chanting “USA” at sporting events and pep rallies could appear to be inappropriate and intolerant.

Television station CBS 13 in Sacramento reports that school leaders feared the chants could come across as intolerant and offensive to some.
“We can communicate an unintended message,” the school’s principal wrote in a letter to parents.
What would the unintended message be – that young people still love the red, white and blue – that they want to make America great again?

“Intolerant and offensive”….it’s only intolerant/offensive to those who hate the country — and IMO, these have no say!
It seems as though every day something pushes its UGLY Anti- American head out of the sewer of stupidity and the intolerant toilet of one sided liberalism, that makes me regret the 9,207.5 days in the military (not counting for the days gained by leap years). One good thing is that I thank God at night when I go to bed that I won’t have that many days left to regret my right out of high school decision to make the military a career……
Thanks for your service Sarge..!! I know you don’t regret it.
I agree Sarge. It seems more and more we see US SChools deciding being proud to be an American is offensive.. IN THAT CASE i say to those schools,
:FINE then. You will no longer be protected by US LAWS< funded by US Dollars. IF you hate the US SO MUCH< close your doors up and move out!
If I was one of those students, I would gather all of the students and file a lawsuit against the school and the airhead principal, based on freedom of speech and expression. The principal is a communist aka intolerant and offensive.
And if there’s students at that school, who find it offensive to be REMINDED that they are in the USA, then fine.. MOVE TO another bloody country!
I am a disabled Veteran and I fought for THIS U.S.A.
I will hurt someone who tells me or one of my children that it is offensive to chant “USA” anywhere in this our U.S.A.
These Disgusting Demented Liberal Democrat teachers need to be SEVERELY disciplined!
I will leave the term “severely” up to the reader to define.
I am offended that the principal, et al, are offended by chanting USA and respecting the red, white and blue! Why does their offense mean more than mine? Can we email or phone this guy to tell him that Americans are not offended by our flag, nor hearing young people chanting USA? What does he want, our kids to chant Mexico, or Iran, or North Korea? It’s very refreshing to hear that high school people are rallying around our flag. Wonder what he would say if they were chanting LGBT? This is utterly ridiculous.
these adminsitrators are not communists or liberals. they are vicious stupid anti american haters and mentally unstable. they like it when a police officer is murdered by a black lives matter terrorist. they like it that 9/11 happened. either remove the adminstrator of this school immediately or cease any and all funding. refuse to pay for this treasonous insane anti american propoganda. get rid of this guy.
Inappropriate and intolerant. Our soldiers in WWII, are now called the Greatest Generation, Their school experience was the same as mine. School Days started with a Bible Reading,
The Lord’s Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. We are a free society. Nobody is held here against their will and they are free to leave, (unless they incarcerated.) We are Americans and we want people who want to be Americans,
live under American Laws We certainly don’t want teachers to teach our children to be ashamed of America.
I will refer these airheads to Romans 1:16, “I am not ashamed of the gospel” nor the USA! We will be happy to show how we feel in the next School Board election and when we take our kids out of your Antifa school!
It’s hard to believe that this is happening in our country. The schools are failing badly based on this and many other actions of late.
And worse to me, is the fact there are a # of people out there, who seem (elsewhere that is) to SUPPORT what these schools are doing in ‘cramping down on American patriotism”..
Americans call 911, the World calls USA.
Exactly!! Who is this “some” that may find it intolerant and offensive?? Even more perplexing is that the school principal had this thought nagging at his craw to the point that he actually wrote a letter and sent it to the student’s parents. Well whoever this principal is he needs to grow a set and stop tip toeing on eggshells and more importantly stop worrying about the illegals, the snowflakes and the SJW’s who may be triggered by chants of USA!!! It almost reminds me of Linda Blair in the movie The Exorcist when the priest was dousing her with the Holy Water and it was burning her. Well these snowflakes need to have it chants of USA blasted in their direction at the top of these student’s lungs and over the PA system until they have an apoplectic fit. I mean come on already!! This has gotten beyond the point of ridiculousness to the point where its disgustingly and sickeningly pathetic. If the snowflakes can’t deal with chants of USA and respect the other students right to patriotic expression then they need to check into a mental institution and ask for the 2 for 1 special-Lobotomy and Electro-Shock Therapy while having Jimi Hendrix’ version of The Star Spangled Banner blasted at their faces!!
It sounds to me like the principle IS AN american hater himself.. That’s why this “nagged him to write that letter”..
Loved that! For USA haters chanting USA is as Holy Water was to Linda Blair in the Exorcist! Great analogy.
If people find this offensive, then I strongly suggest that they leave this country to where they think it will be safer to live.
Okay, since this is the planet of California, what country’s name can be chanted? Mexico, perhaps? Give me a break, this is taking it too far. Whatever happened to ‘Freedom of Speech’? Oh, right, you are only allowed this right if the speech and/or words you speak are those of the Anti-Americans. If this school’s administration finds the name of our country so offensive, then it is time for them to give up their citizenship and move to NoKo.
Would the chant of GO North Korea be better? How about GO GO Iran? what are people thinking these days? Its more stupid than anything else. And I blame the administrators…the kids are doing the right thing, and the parents and fans just get the short end. Its time for the kids, community and parents to get together and fight this kind of insanity. Its America, we are proud and we say it our loud!! No unintended message. No need for offense.
Perhaps those parents need to summon a PTA Meeting, and send a leter to the school board DEMANDING the head of this principle… Start up a campaign to get his American hating behind fired..
I kinda liked the chant, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb..Bomb Iran! Oh! Bomb Iran!”
Communists dont like it…..
An intended message was clearly sent by the principal; it’s embarrassing to be a loyal American.
Maybe to you its embarrassing to be a loyal American..
I believe he was saying that’s the principal’s message, not his own.
In that case, humble apologies Reece..
They will never stop me for chanting USA>> You will have to kill me first. Try to stop me!
Go POTUS=MAGA>>>
The Lefties in California would probably prefer Me-hi-co, or I-ran, or Eh-qua-dor chants but they do live in the USA and so should try to have a modicum of pride in their country who has provided so much for them, given them freedom, and protects them from foreign invaders. And, for anyone who finds ‘USA’ an intolerant chant…let them get the hell out of the country. USA..!!
I find the bias and selfish dislike of a few who want everything their way OFFENSIVE If they do not like what the statue may represent===there are other roads to go and not pass the offensive objects or writings. Think it is time to bring back an old rule we had when I was a child centuries ago. If we had a problem we would take a vote and the rule who ever got the most votes won or rule prevailed. Majority of AMERICAN CITIZENS RULE not the few loud mouth haters of this great Country.
It’s called mob rule.
What part of you are living in the USA do these idiots not understand. I don’t give a flying rip if anyone is offended by it. You don’t like it, get the hell out!
Sorry you were not raised with any pride in your country. Have you ever stopped to think there is a reason why so many people from other countries want to live here. Because we are the freeist and best place. You stupid twits have not figured that out yet, so pack you bags and go to where ever you think is better. You will soon see why we are the best!
THese twits REALIZE that, but are so damn hell bent in making this country into every other third world hell hole, they want to do all they can to ruin it..
we need to fight PC and the Libs.. they are out to destroy us
california is a craphole… taken over by illegals and basically a libby training base…
get behind this CaliExit….. we can improve the USA by dumping California
Wait for it….Wait for it…God will do the CaliExit for us, U.S.
It’s beyond the realm of stupid but it’s California, so it makes perfect sense. But on a positive note, it’s good to hear that there may be some young patriots left in California.
Yea. Just when you thought you saw the last of the idiocracy from CA, they prove us wrong.
BUT i agree, it is good to see that there are still some patriotic people left there.
Of all of the remarks that I have heard lately, this one really takes the cake! We are teaching our children that they can no longer be proud of this country. What is wrong with these people?! I have had relatives (grandfathers, uncles, father, husband and children) who fought from 1776 through 2006 to protect the right of America to be strong, free and PROUD! If these fools do not like American Patriosm then go live soin whatever country you are proud of and get the heck out of mine!!
Again something crazy out of the land of fruits and nuts, just goes to show you education doesn’t necessarily denote intelligence!
This comes as no surprise since we have schools where students were forced to kneel on prayer rugs, and were made to honor flags from other countries instead of the American flag. Some schools forbid prayer or the Bible, and they teach abominable sex classes in grammar school. Why would we be surprised when some schools resent chanting “USA”, when athletes insult America, and when citizens are allowed to destroy monuments? These people who insult our country, who tear down monuments, and who violate our Constitution should leave this country, and if they are not citizens of this country they need to be deported. When are we going to stop the insanity that has been forced on tax-paying citizens of America and why haven’t these attempts to destroy American been stopped?
This is the ongoing ethnic cleansing of America, planned years ago. The media and the educational system are possessed and exhibiting many satanic ideals. That faulty needs to be fired.
Note that the alleged offendees are never told to be “tolerant” or to celebrate “diversity”. Those Marxist concepts seem to be white man’s burden.
“…school leaders feared the chants could come across as intolerant and offensive to some.”
Here’s an intolerant and and offensive message, “You don’t deserve to live in the country I defended, so grow a pair or get out!”
And note, every time we see those claims, we never get told WHO could be offended by it.. JUST that ‘some un-named individuals might be offended’.
NOT THAT someone was offended. Not that someone has complained that it i offensive. Just that “Someone MIGHT be”..
“could appear to be inappropriate and intolerant”
Ahhhh
What are they afraid will happen?
They will actually leave!
Perhaps the principal would be less offended if the kids chanted:
Go NK!
Nuke LA!
School Fears ‘USA’ Chant Could be Intolerant and Offensive.
Frightening that these so called school officials have such fears. Since when did patriotism become offensive ??? Did that happen when this crop of school admins were in their liberal colleges or is it the “Cause celebre” of our times. Whichever, it is “stupidity on steroids” and these teachers do not deserve to be in contact with impressionable children.
It seems the past 5 years or so, its become more and more cosher to “be unpatriotic”..
Since it is Kalicommia, no surprise. Again, because of where it is coming from I would like to suggest an alternative for the student body to chant, “F— YOU, MEXICO!” Repeat as needed.
Insanity rules. To be an American has somehow become the unAmerican thing to be! The only persons that ‘USA’ could find intolerant and offensive are those who are either citizens who hate their country or illegal aliens who are the parasites feeding on genuine success. The school is pandering to the few, students, parents, and patriots let’s shout, “USA, USA, USA!”
It seems like every day I read about another idiotic idea coming from the snowflake Left. As a proud American who displays my American flag outside 365 days a year, I AM OFFENDED, by this ignorant, and weak Principal ! Of course nothing from the State of California shocks me anymore as those people have LOST every bit of the small amount of intelligence they started with ! I LOVE that those kids are chanting “USA”, and if I was there, I would be doing it with them !
Which is why i keep praying the big one hit soon, and wipes Commiefornia out..
Every time you read another story about California schools’ anti-American antics you realize the old saying that “California is the land of fruits and nuts” is absolutely true.
