Texas High School Football Players Kicked Off Team Immediately After Protest During Anthem



Get off my field.

Via Houston Chronicle:

    Two Victory & Praise Christian Academy football players were kicked off the team for protesting during the national anthem at a game Friday night.

    Cedric Ingram-Lewis raised his fist while cousin Larry McCullough knelt during the anthem ahead of the team’s game against Providence Classical.

    After the anthem ended, head coach Ronnie Mitchem instructed them to take off their uniforms and kicked them off the team. Mitchem is a former Marine and pastor who started the church-based football program in Crosby six years ago.

    Ingram-Lewis, a sophomore, said the topic of protesting had come up in the locker room before and his cousin McCullough, a senior, even announced he would kneel via social media. The coach had told players he did not want anyone to kneel, citing his service in the military.

    “He told us that disrespect will not be tolerated,” Lewis said, recalling the moments after the anthem ended. “He told us to take off our uniform and leave it there.”

    Lewis’ mother Rhonda Brady supported her son and nephew being inspired to protest, saying it was completely their decision.

    She was surprised by the coach’s reaction, however, deeming it out of line.

    “I’m definitely going to have a conversation because I don’t like the way that that was handled,” Brady said. “But I don’t want them back on the team. A man with integrity and morals and ethics and who truly lives by that wouldn’t have done anything like that.

    “Actions speak louder than words. So, for him to do what he did, that really spoke volumes and I don’t want my kids or my nephew to be around a man with no integrity.”

Colin Kaepernick Donated $25K To Group Named After Cop Killer

People in the NFL are saying the National Anthem protests aren’t anti-military or anti-police. That’s a bunch of bull. The whole thing was started by Colin Kaepernick and it’s very clear where he stands on the issue.

The Daily Mail reports:

Colin Kaepernick donated $25,000 to group named after convicted cop killer and former Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur who broke out of jail and fled to Cuba.

Colin Kaepernick’s $25,000 donation to a charitable group honoring a convicted cop killer has been revealed.

Kaepernick’s foundation made the donation to Chicago-based Assata’s Daughter’s, named after former Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur, in April as part of a $1million charitable pledge.

Shakur was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1973 shooting death of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster and sentenced to life in prison, but staged a daring jailbreak and now lives as a fugitive in Cuba.

Kaepernick, who is well known for his protests against police during the national anthem as a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, made the donation as part of his pledge to donate $100,000 a month for 10 months to ‘organizations working in oppressed communities’.

Assata’s Daughters was founded in 2015 to ‘develop and train young people, ages 4-19, in the Black queer feminist tradition and in the spirit of Assata,’ according to the group’s website.

Two 10-Year-Old Georgia Students Are Heckled, Called KKK and Nazis for Standing During Pledge of Allegiance

Liberalism at work.

Two Georgia 10-year-old students were taunted by classmates for standing during the Pledge of Allegiance and placing their hand over their heart.
The teacher told students in her class she will never stand for the national anthem.

This is the crap Democrats are teaching your kids at school.



CBS46 reported:

    Two students at a metro Atlanta elementary school say they were singled out for what they did during the Pledge of Allegiance.

    Tuesday morning at Orrs Elementary School, 10-year-old Jason Newberry said he and one classmate put their hand over their heart while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. He said when they did, others in the class called them names.

    “Me and him got called KKK, Nazi, and we just kept getting bullied the whole day,” said Newberry.

    Newberry said it wasn’t until his second period teacher showed them a news clip of NFL players kneeling that he realized the present controversy surrounding the flag.

    The teacher made a poll on paper and passed it out to all the students to see what they thought was right or wrong about taking a knee. The teacher even told students that she would never stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and that if she did stand she would not really mean it.

Their teacher said she would never stand for the national anthem.
