Patriotism is under fire in Western Michigan.
The OK Conference, representing 50 schools, has announced a crackdown on fans chanting, “USA” at football games. They are also implementing strict rules on flags and political banners.
Click here to join Todd’s American Dispatch: a must-read for Conservatives!
“Coaches and fans are irate,” said Bill Simonson, the host of a statewide sports radio show. “People are tired of being told what flag to fly or what political side to lean towards.”
Mr. Simonson, who hosts “The Huge Show”, was the first to break this insane story.
The athletic conference’s crackdown comes after fans from a predominantly black school took offense after fans from a predominantly white school displayed a Betsy Ross flag and a “Make America Great Again” banner.
At what point will the rational person stop bowing down to the demands of the most racist race of all? The Negro-Americans.
These people profess to be passionate enemies of racism; they in fact perpetuate racism by injecting it where it does not otherwise exist.
They have been taught how to use the system to their advantage and to accuse somebody else of racism will get them rewarded with more free cheese.
Hey Scruffy, I don’t think that deserves to be a hyphenated word,
Are they “negro” ? ? ?
or
Are they “American” ? ? ?
Just one retired squid to another

Defund everything. If a penny of federal funding makes it into their pockets, it’s too much. If you don’t like our Flag, then you don’t get our Dollar.
YOU
WORK
FOR
US
!
We need to teach our children to love our country, and honor the Flag. Any teacher who doesn’t like that can go. You don’t need to be spreading your disease to our next generation.
This whole cycle of leftist indoctrination needs to stop. It didn’t use to be this way. It’s snowballing now and getting worse every year. Just pull the plug already.
Jimmy Carter invented the Department of Education. Our schools were great before that. Australia had to make this same choice a while back. They torched their version of the DoE and the schools became great again within 5 years.
Well my fellow veterans, whether you were in for four, or slightly more, maybe 24 or more, and maybe you did and maybe you didn’t see war, would you have, if you knew aforehand that this what it would come to, joined up? Were we aware of what our kids were being taught? Worse yet, did we even care? By the time I knew what was happening, I was a Don Quixote tilting at windmills of education when my grandson came home and told me that it was America that started both parts of WW2, sending arms to England and refusing to sell raw materials to Japan……. BTW, it was sometime in ’42 when the word democracy began to force the word Republic out of America’s vocabulary, civics began to be replaced by social studies and the slope began to get really slippery. Strange, but America, starting with FDR stated openly many times, many variations of “after we have won the war”, “Victory will be ours”, ETC….. After VE Day, we looked West and finished it off with VJ Day , and to my knowledge, there never was any intention of having an armistice or stalemate in any future conflicts until Truman cowered and bowed down to the UN. America, today could never, ever equal the feat of fighting and winning two wars thousands of miles apart. Sure we had allies, but I believe, even to this day, they were allies of convenience.
The Old Sarge, aka usafoldsarge using the nom de plume Jim Gier
continued……. We have too many sons, and daughters, that like my oldest son (61) openly says,”As long as it doesn’t affect me personally, I don’t really care about it”. Do I regret my service, not really sure, but would I do it over again? Knowing the attitude of too many Americans today, I am not sure that the battle will be winable and it would be just one more windmill to try and tip over…
Sarge.. I have said several times now, if i KNEW back in 1991 when i was looking to join up, what the state of the US would look like now, i seriously doubt i would have joined ANY branch of the military… Let alone stuck it out for 20 years.
The Socialist Left has infiltrated most everything in America. This is simple, get an injunction to stop the schools and then sue the schools all the way to the Supreme Court that Trump fills in 2017. LESS FEAR AND WRINGING OF HANDS AND MORE FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE !!!
American? I am American. If you chose to call yourself an hyphenated American, you are not American.
I would still do my duty but seeing how this country is not the country I fought to defend I do not know in hindsight if I would have served the full 45 years active duty I did with 10 of those years being in combat.
You have to remember a tour of duty before Korea consisted of a long march, without deflection, departure, or break, whose purpose was to take America’s soldiers from their homes to the center of power of the enemy: for me Berlin. And once there to grind that enemy to dust and end once and for all the warring efforts that the enemy brought on the world. In Vietnam the tour of duty was only suppose to be 1 year but my 3 tours were 19 months each. As the years advanced tours got shorter. I pray to see the country back that I fought for! USA!!!
Let’s review:
“Schools Crack down on ‘USA, USA’ Chant, Ban Flags”
“ACLU: Students have right to sit during Pledge of Allegiance”
Two headlines, same email. One prohibits freedom of expression, the other supports it.
It seems we should express ourselves and tell anyone who is offended to put on their big boy pants and get over it. I don’t really you can prevent people in any public venue from expressing their views. Furthermore anyone who is trying to shut you up is violating constitutional rights, so let the offended file suit for being offended (not against the law) and counter sue for usurping your God given rights.
After all, I believe in today’s increasingly godless world, they are really offended that you recognize your rights ARE given by God.
To all service personnel, active or retired.
THANK YOU.
Do not become meloncolly because your fellow citizens have definitely dropped the ball.
We have been ingaged in: culture war, media bias, educational indoctrination, electronic invasion, race baiting, environmental provocation, governmental expansion.
However many battles lost…the war is not!
Only VERY recently has a new general appeared and we should take
heart.
Even if trump does win, i fear the schooling system is too chock full of liberals to be saved as is.. We need to tear it down to the bedrock and rebuild it up imo.
And the first step is getting the DOE shut down!
1st. Amendment Right. Increase the flags 10 fold. Tell them to politely shut up. Contact the ACLU and see if they are going to represent your right.
By the way where is the ACLU on this? Don’t they have like scanners or something to see whats going on?
Oh, it doesn’t have to do with religion. LOL
IMO if they contacted the ACLU they would more than likely stand WITH The schools cramping down on this.. NOT supporting the Proud American Students wanting to honor their country.
What is the rationale behind this? We are in the USA; both teams are from schools in the USA; most of the spectators are from the USA. What would you expect if you were in Italy? Of course, this is okay for them to shout if they’re at the Olympics playing a foreign country but not in their own country. Where is the common sense one is born with? Political correctness has stolen all native intelligence in most of our population. Very sad!
The rationale (if the left ever has any) is that they don’t wanna offend the refugees, asylum seekers and illegals in our country..
The reason behind this is that Michigan has become a muslim stronghold state with portions of it now home to large groups of muslim refugees. Therefore there are groups in Michigan that see America as the “great Satan”. They consequently see any pride in America as being in opposition to Sharia Law (which despite it’s blatant oppression they see as divine) because Sharia Law is directly opposed to the Constitution of the United States. It is their hope to make it easier to replace the Constitution with Sharia by making it impossible to speak positively of the Constitution or American history by slandering American history and institutions with the term racist and any other negative term they can get to stick. We are in psy-ops war as it is; at least at this stage, fought with propaganda.
So how do the good people of W Mich get rid of these know nothings? Are they elected, appointed, can they be fired?
Muslims are moving into Michigan by the 1000’s & electing their own to local offices – soon to instill sharia law!
AMERIKA – once the land of freedom, hope, promise! Now? Not so much of any of that–merely a country bogged down in the absurdity of political correctness. It strikes me that when fans of all ages go to a high school football game there is more unity, more spirit than at most any other time. How utterly typical AND STUPID of any school administration that would pursue this posture and thinking — creating chaos and division where none existed! Now, as almost never before (since the 1950s) the nation is more divided, more racially stressed, more embedded in distrust and anger and hostility and the entire situation IS FED BY OUR GOVERNMENT, OUR LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS. This is but one example of our erosion, our decline, our rapid fall into socialism and communism — and it is NO ACCIDENT, but a well orchestrated long held effort by the radical left to submerge America into division and chaos for it is only then that they can take full and complete control (as in USSR, N Korea – all the places where this political thinking failed! A vote for hillary is a vote to further this decline all the way to the bottom!
What you refer to as the “radical left” is actually the elite, wealthy, behind the scenes cabal, known as the New World Order. They have been working on their long term strategy to destroy America from the inside out for over forty years. They have had Presidents in their pockets including both Bush’s, Bill Clinton and their poster boy, Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton is their anointed replacement for Obama. A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for the New World Order and completing the destruction of our country.
The Divided States of Amerikrapstan for instance?
Lunacy is running wild and it time to put a stop to it. The idiots are calling the shots and they need to be reined in and made to see the error of their ways. How dumb can they be?
How dumb can they be?? well they did give us obama twice!
About as dumb as HiLIARly is dishonest.
How much of this can be laid at the feet of Dear Leader. He came in with his Hope and Change mantra and yet 7+ years later nearly everything is worse than before. Is he following the Rules for Radicals his good friend Alinsky promoted, to overwhelm the system and create divisiveness among the people. If so he’s done a bang up job. And Hillary she promises more of the same.
The NWO at it’s best! Order out of chaos….what a scam. The NWO is a scam; all they want is to rule the world, one world, one financial system, one everything and the Globalists/Elitists will have control and we will be the serfs. Shame on us if we allow it to happen.
As “jackie” so correctly stated, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are only pawns in the NWO game of working toward a One World Government. Our country is so far gone, if Hillary Clinton is elected she may well be the the lynch-pin to finish us off. Once they crash the country, turn it into chaos, their plan is to rebuild as a global utopia under a One World Government. What the NWO underestimates is the resolve, determination and patriotism of millions of Americans who are armed and ready to fight for their country. May God bless America and curse the traitors in our midst.
We must stand against this garbage at every level. Maybe it’s time for people to stop sending their kids to these indoctrination stations.
The world is completely upside down, I just saw a youtube video where Glenn Beck was on Lawrence O’Donnell, on MSNBC….????
Several of us have been saying that since mid last year. STOP Sending your kid(s) to these indoctrination centers and home school them (or send them to private or parochial schools)..
Well, we’re quickly becoming Nazi Germany aren’t we?? This is just how it started. Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals works very well–one of them being “create chaos, division wherever possible, overload the system until it collapses. Obummer lives by this creed and one of the easiest things to use to implement it is race. He has set race relations back thirty years from the moment he set foot in the Oval Office and steadily increased agitation since. Aren’t black people tired of being used by the Demorats? How does it feel to be a TOOL to divide and destroy your country? Is it REALLY worth “free” stuff. Wouldn’t you be better served by standing up to this disgrace, refusing to be a part of it and put the energy into bettering your culture? And parents had BETTER STOP this anti-American movement within our schools–it WILL NOT stop until you do and it’s up to YOU. WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!!!!
WE have allowed and encouraged this ingress of people that have no wish but do have every wish to DESTROY this country. We have an administration that is actively enabling this destruction. Our apathy, our lassez-faire attitude, our ignorance our studity is going to kill us. We have all helped our enemy by allowing our enemy to infiltrate to the highest levels of government! We, the AMERICAN CITIZEN are becoming outnumbered in our own home!
USA – USA – AND MAY ALL OUR FLAGS PAST AND PRESENT LONG WAVE!
This is what oppression looks like.
I am reminded of the great quote from Padme to Bail organa with Yoda standing in the backround as the senate voted to absolve itself and elect Palpaltine as Emperor..
“So this is how liberty ends, to thunderous applause.”
Racism, the undermining of our school principles, disrespect for our Armed Forces/Police/Our Flag/Our Constitution/ all had started 8 years ago and have grown. And it appears only “We The People” will stop it. We have a worthless Congress, & Armed Forces Generals who get fired(or set up) if they don’t salute our “Trojan” president correctly. We must make a choice, get involved loudly & aggressively, or sit back & let it all happen. Time to remove the gloves folks.
Keep in mind, one of the spokes in the New World Order strategy for destruction of the United States is “Racial Divide.” Under Barack Obama they are achieving that objective ten times over. Add, George Soros funding of the Black Lives Matter mob and the cancer has spread across the country. Depending on how the election campaign go in the next seven weeks, if it looks like Donald Trump will win, my gut feeling is Obama will do something very stupid to hold onto the power for the New World Order. What might that be, a logical person might ask. How about if the Black Lives Matter mob starts riots, burning & looting in ten major cities across the country. Barack Obama declares a National Emergency and imposes Martial Law. In a blink of an eye, no more Constitution, no election, no Congress, no civil rights, restrictions on movement and FEMAA running the country with the military as it’s strong arm. People would accept Phase 1 of Martial Law when the military would enter the cities and shoot rioters on sight. Then the President would order Phase 2, for National Security of course, ordering the military to go door to door and seize all firearms. That is when the shooting war starts and the picture will not be a pretty one. Moral of this story is to pray for Divine intervention and prepare for the worst case scenario both mentally and physically. May God bless America and the men and women who protect her.
And this is why we need the DoE to be broken down, and gotten OUT of schools. So we can slowly try and bring back sanity to them.. And our kids.
I have little doubt that 0bama would like to have some mechanism for retaining his position in the left’s battle to assert & hold as much power as they may…to further consolidate their control over areas of everyday Americans’ lives. HOWEVER – there is NO latitude in our Constitution or US CODE for the declaration of “Martial law”, and any such writ or utterance emanating from Herr Barack would seal his fate & legacy.
Impeachment and speedy removal would suddenly land on the table (which given his crimes & violations already, would be a very good thing!) Though he may find support from BLM, New Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, etcetera…they are a distinct minority – a fraction of somewhat less than 14% of the total US population. Even with help from at-large militant Islamic “imports”, oath breakers in military & law enforcement – they would still be vastly outnumbered & outgunned by savvy, experienced & patriotically committed citizens. Even if these forces of evil “invited” U.N. ‘peacekeepers’ to participate, those folk have a long and sterling history of cowardice – of wilting under clash of arms, even against smaller, modestly equipped forces. In my opinion, they will still try to be more subtle, more surreptitious…
Since when has he given a flying buck about whether the constitution does or does not let him do something??
My point regarding zer0bum-bum & martial law is essentially this: he & his ilk are not called “progressives” for naught. Right now, the leftist progs do NOT have nearly enough avenues “cut off” to effectively execute such a maneuver. Their efforts at creating “regime change” in other lands have been poorly crafted & of limited success against populations of people less resilient, less well-armed & more heavily/successfully propagandized than we in America.
They know it would backfire badly, & although I find plenty of room to characterize them as “stupid”, I don’t think they’re quite THAT stupid.
But a guy can hope….As Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” once said “Go ahead, make my day!”
The blacks are always looking to cause problems. Everything is offensive and the want to be pampered yet they are mostly violent criminals. However, it’s ok for them to do whatever they want. Enough is enough. Now our and their home country offends them. Too bad, do not give in any, rather counter. Any other flag being flown in this country should be an act of war and identifies them as infiltrators.
With this kind of thinking in our educational system, no wonders we are losing the fight to maintain our freedom. Back, when the Supreme Court gave universities the restriction on blocking hiring of professors who taught a different political teaching (Communism) than traditional American values and concepts, the upper educational system has been taken over by a pro-Marxist philosophy. No one seems to remember that, it was Nikita Kruschev who stated that we would become a Socialist state and it would come from within. There are those who believe that entering the educational system was a plan of the Soviets because the minds are being molded. Slowly the parents have lost control of their children’s education and the “Professionals” (Trained in our State run institutions of “higher” learning). P.C. came from academia to the Media and then to the nation where it has now replaced FREE SPEECH. Again, this is just one more example of the decline of the American Free Society and a move towards a Socialist Aristocracy. (Better known as a dictatorship).
I shutter to think of Hillary appointing as many as 1,2 or even 5 Supreme Court Justices – which could take 30-40 years to correct!!
It seems that its always easier to bring down something from within than from outside..
>> I shutter to think <<
I would imagine so. Try "shudder to think." You're welcome.
Chanting “USA” is offensive to liberals because they hate the USA.
I never thought that I would live long enough to see CITIZENS , WITHIN OUR BORDERS chastised for chanting USA and waving the flag of the Republic!!!! What the frigg is WRONG with these people!!! It breaks my heart to see the damage done to the once greatest country on earth by the leftist “progressives”, manifested in the “democrat” party!!!! Anything that was once good, wholesome and honest means NOTHING to these devious deviants!!!
I would defy the Administrators and display the flag and chant USA. If anyone stopped me, I would file suit against this trash.
Defy and shoot’em.
Having “exploded” when I read this yesterday, I quickly sent a not too polite message to the Superintendent who was shown as the spokesman in this article. The lack of complete reporting or accuracy about all the events was pretty upsetting. I do read GOP USA as well as many opposing views. I remain a conservative, but wish to note that the football game was interrupted by political rhetoric on a night that is spent each year at this school, to honor the fallen on 9/11. For those who wear the Red White and Blue as clothing and drag it on the ground, shame on you. This was not a night for political comment. I also commented on the sad state of affairs that has our Superintendents of schools wasting time, making sure none of the “snowflakes” are offended. GOP USA, please have a reporter available for this schools Veterans’ Day celebration.
It is time that those of us who took the oath to uphold and defend stand up and do just that. Our founding fathers gave the PEOPLE the ability, right and obligation to self govern. We must shake the tree of liberty from time to time to remove the corruption that will always grow. We are being over run and consumed by those who wish to destroy our way of life. As a veteran who proudly served his country, and someone who is descended from two of our founders, I say it is time we take our country back. And for those of you who think we can fix the problem by voting and waiting I say go bury your head in the sand somewhere else. If you refuse to pay homage to MY FLAG and learn the language of our laws ( American English ) then get out of this great nation and do not come back! When it becomes illegal to exercise the rights granted us by GOD then it is time to remove those who would take those rights away and force their socialistic and/or Islamic views on us. As for those who have forgotten our TRUE history, freedom has been GIVEN to you by those who have BLED and DIED for this country! If you refuse to act then you are part of the problem!
Don’t be cowed by the stupidity of uneducated educators. Go ahead and chant and wave your flags, the more the better, will they have the entire staudim arrested. And what about the police who have sworn to serve, protect, and defend The Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic, the enemy seems to be the athletic conference and not the fans!
I would love it if every parent showed up to the next event with a flag.. Along with every other student not playing.. And see what exactly these plebs do then..
If something to counter is not done we will be “over run” or compromised to nothing/ defeat. We need organization, leadership, full support to hold what made this country great and to make it great again. Stand strong, stand united, stand loyal!
I read the previous article about this game between a White & Black schools. Did anyone ask the White kids themselves why they chanted USA & waved a Betsy Ross flag or Trump banner. I see nothing racist about Betsy’s flag. I would like to hear from the Black kids – there exact quotes. If the Whites were chanting USA at them, they’re in the wrong. The Blacks are USA also and Trump is not excluding them. Please re-investigat this matter because the reasoning & motivation of the players are not included.
Our scools have become these socialist indoctrination centers that are controlled by the democrat elites..the teachers unions..and those politically correct anti american alynskites..in other words freedom of speech is only allowed if it is approved by the progressive machine of the new world order and the mafia machine in washington.
Da Tavorisch, long live the party!
If someone doesn’t like a USA chant, maybe he should move somewhere that has a chant he does like. Maybe Iran?
Political Correctness garbage strikes again. How low can we sink?
American NATIONALISM is like salt and lemon juice being rubbed into the road-rash of the NWO globalists, and that is precisely why they are continually going light years out of their way to suppress it. My suggestion is to amp up the game: replace the salt with ammonium hydroxide, replace the lemon juice with hydrochloric acid, and rub vigorously, with coarse sandpaper!
