Unbelievable . I bet if they were chanting Mexico it would have been fine

Four California high school students claimed they were suspended for wearing patriotic bandanas and chanting “USA! USA!” during a school basketball game....“They have to respect everyone,” he said. “When you go to a game – you cheer for your team and you don’t make any derogatory comments or make inappropriate comments toward the other team.”

So when students are proud of their country & shout USA, they get in trouble? I never thought I see the day.

Good...no sympathy for them.

From the source:

Valenzuela said that between the games, an associate principal came over to the stands and warned students not to curse or make racial comments.
...
“We wanted to make sure (the chant) wasn’t racially motivated, and I told the kids I just want to be sensitive to the feelings of everybody,” Lipman said. “If we’re doing it for patriotism, that’s fine. But if we’re doing it for something else that’s racially motivated, I’m not going to allow that.”

Rio Mesa Athletic Director Brian Fitzgerald attended Wednesday’s game and said he noticed some Camarillo High students pointing toward the Rio Mesa fan section while chanting “USA, USA.”

Fitzgerald acknowledged that in a heated rivalry, students from both sides can push the limit of what’s acceptable.

“Are we going crazy about it over here? No, we’re not,” Fitzgerald said. “As far as crowd control went, I thought the Camarillo administrators did a very good job of trying to keep a lid on something that could have been explosive.

You don't like to show that you are proud to be an American?

Be sensible. They were not playing an international team, therefore it was stupid and ignorant.
