Students Told to Stop ‘USA!’ Chant, Take Off American Flag Bandanas


Four California high-school students were reportedly suspended for chanting “U.S.A! U.S.A!” and wearing American flag bandanas during a basketball game. While their punishment has since been rescinded, school administrators said “the incident is far from over.”

Oxnard Union School District superintendent Gabe Soumakian told Fox News Radio that “we need to pursue this further” and “work with teachers and students and the community about the concept of cultural proficiency.” Soumakian and Camarillo High School principal Glenn Lipman felt that the students’ actions might have had racist undertones since the schools have large Hispanic student populations.

“We wanted to make sure [their actions weren'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.”

nobody seems to care about offending Americans ........ tell the illegals to go back to Mexica'nt .... Cali does not seem to have a problem with that RAG Flying on the 5th of May

Absurd. What ever happened to good old fashioned patriotism? A big shout out to those four students; never remain silent!

Gotta love the liberals in California. Had to call the social security office for business and dialed the 1-800 number. Got an office in California. The recording spewed crap out like "entitlement" etc. and instead of press one to continue in spanish, it was press 1 to continue in English. UFB

The country this game was played in was......................United States of America
The state the game was played in is a part of......... …….United States of America
The school the game was played in is located in...... ……United States of America
The taxes that paid for that school came from......... …..United States of America tax payers
If you are born in America you are a citizen in the………United States of America
If you became a legalized citizen you become a…. ………United States of America citizen
A common acronym for United States of America is……U.S.A
So a school tells its students that in the name of Cultural Proficiency you can’t chant USA at an event in the USA.

If I remember my schooling, the United States of America is a melting pot of many cultures and nationalities. Cultural proficiency is the understanding that there are many different types of people, IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. So in my opinion, it is better to chant USA since it includes all people of the United States of America.

This is the one I was thinking of, but I remember that one too



A Texas school district has filed a complaint alleging that students from a rival school engaged in racism by chanting “USA, USA” at a basketball game. The students involved in the incident were reprimanded and forced to apologize.

The San Antonio Independent School District filed the complaint with the University Interscholastic League, the governing body for athletics in Texas. They allege that students at Alamo Heights High School began chanting “USA, USA” after they defeated Edison High School to win a region basketball championship.
Edison’s team is predominantly Hispanic, said Leslie Price, a spokesperson for the San Antonio ISD.
“The implication as they are not American citizens,” Price told Fox News. “We understand competiveness and rivalry, but you need to choose your words and think about the meaning behind them.”
Price said she believes the “USA, USA” chant was racially motivated.
