Wednesday morning, Bossier Schools Superintendent Scott Smith said there is an expectation his student-athletes will stand for the national anthem at sporting events.
“It is a choice for students to participate in extracurricular activities, not a right, and we at Bossier Schools feel strongly that our teams and organizations should stand in unity to honor our nation’s military and veterans,” Smith said in a statement.
Smith said any discipline delivered to defectors would be handled by individual schools.
One high school official in Bossier Parish said potential punishments range from “extra running to a one-game suspension.”
Thursday, Parkway High principal Waylon Bates send a letter to athletes and parents describing the school’s rules during the national anthem.

As long as they keep making those poboys I really don't care what they do socially.

If Shaun King died today, I'd rent out the Superdome and throw a party. That stupid motherfricker isn't even black.

I just wonder if the principal will cuff anyone who defies the dictated pregame agenda.

Principal's name is Waylon, damn right those baws will be standing

I'm beyond sick of this shite. Both sides of the argument....go get fricked.
Posted on 9/28/17 at 2:06 pm to tke857
Regardless of which side you’re on. Isn’t this illegal? At a public school at that???

Another reason Bossier is the best

The kids have the fricking right to kneel if they want to.

This is a violation of the player's 1st amendment rights

Yeah, that is unconstitutional. It's almost as if we don't value freedom of speech. Both sides of the political spectrum are guilty of trying to suppress the speech of which they disagree. The link below is the case that would apply.

How about the people in the bleachers, the band, coaches?

Makes me proud to live in Bossier Parish. I don't like all the outraged republicans looking like SJW babies over this dumb shite. But I don't mind a superintendent dropping nuts on errbody.
