Students at an Iowa high school have apologized to a neighboring school for wearing red, white and blue to a recent basketball game.

The Valley High School students' USA-themed attire was seen as offensive because some of the rival school's players were from refugee families. "Any normal person, any educated person can look at that and think what the hell are these kids thinking," said Valley High School coach Morgan Wheat.

The students, however, argued that themed attire was worn at previous games and it was not meant to make a statement toward the rival side.

If a country took my family in as refugees, I would embrace their flag and show gratitude!

Coach Wheat should wear his p+ssy hat between his legs to prevent vaginal injury!

The kids were thinking this was America. The kids were thinking that they were proud to be Americans.

The big question is, what was Coach "ashamed of America" Wheat thinking!

There is nothing on planet earth that could make me understand the logic of not wearing red, white, and blue so you don't offend refugees.

Also, I thought they were integrating so well and loved America...why would they care about the flag?

"We're seeking refuge in your country, we thank you for that, but can you not wear your country's colors? It may offend me."

Exactly, I personally could give 2 flying shits if it offends someone that was displaced here.

Why would it offend them in the first place. I just don't get it.

Why are libs offended by an American flag or American colors and why would immigrants be offended by it?

We are truly fricked if these sick people ever regain power.

You'd think the refugees would be supporting the colors in light of the fact that the US brought them in for "refuge."

Congratulations. They have officially made being an American in America offensive.

frick these people. Send them to Africa or the Middle East for a few years years and see how much they'll be begging to be wrapped in USA colors.

If they ever regain power, you can expect more things like this, and wouldn't surprise me if more schools started bowing to the pressure and stopped the anthem before sporting events all together.

Prayer changed to "moment of silence", changed to nothing.

Certain people won't stop until we make sure we couldn't possibly ever offend anyone!

Morgan was a baller in high school. Lit us up. Went to Iowa State. Now he apparently works in IT and employed part time by the grievance industry.

Our society is in the hands of these people. If ever you were to become concerned with the future of this nation, this would be the time to get concerned.
