People who complain about political correctness don't have the courage to stand up for their principles. If you believe in something why do you care if others agree with you or not? Is approval that important to people?

What? Political Correctness is folks shouting down those who don't agree with THEM.

San Antonio Independent School District officials took the chant as a racial insult to a school with all minority players from a school with mostly white ones."


Now the comments from those who are teaching our children..........


"We just hope that people know that that's not who we are and we're not going to let it happen again," Brown said.


Alamo Heights has apologized to SAISD and the students identified will also have to apologize and have been banned from the state title games.


"We think that you have to earn a right to be there and that's not a reflection of our school district," Brown said.
Both districts are now just trying to move past this disturbing incident."

it was a racially motivated taunt. End of story.

Only if you let people shout you down. If you have the courage to stand up for what you believe in then do it, otherwise stop your whining. Can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Apparently... unbeliveable that people would defend these racist kids... but then again, we had Presidential candidates defending soldiers urinating on dead people.

Not really if you read their other posts and threads. Some people really thrive on hate. Whatever floats their boat. They post their racist bs and cry like babies when they get called out on it, complaining about political correctness and how they wish it was the 50's again.
