Racist chants rain down on Iowa high school basketball team

[47of74]

Straight out of Steve King country

Authorities say some student spectators at a predominantly white school in northwest Iowa greeted a visiting rival boys' basketball team with racist chants.

The chants and slogans at the Jan. 19 game at Spencer High School included some fans yelling that the Storm Lake players should "go back where you came from." Other students chanted, "USA."

The school superintendents say the Storm Lake district has 2,400 students, and 84 percent are non-Caucasian. The Spencer district has 1,900 students and is predominantly white.

Spencer Superintendent Terry Hemann told The Des Moines Register that administrators have disciplined the Spencer students involved, but he declined to provide details.

1. I wonder what type of discipline they got.

4. Some little slap on the wrist I suppose.

And their racist relatives will be outraged that there was any discipline.

7. Back when I was growing up the schools would punish the entire class just to get one or two students

And tell any parents who complained to go fuck themselves.

2. Deplorables who will vote in

3. Lest we think it was an isolated incident

Here is the last line of the article:

A similar situation occurred during a football game last October between the rival schools.

never a Klan smiley when you need one.

Steve King is a full out White Supremacist and is untouchable in that state, so ...Yeah, not shocked

5. Disgusting...I didn't see any opposing views in the referenced link, it ...

would be interesting to hear the other side of other students who were NOT subscribing to this idiotic chanting.

I suspect that most decent people sided w/ the rival boys' basketball team, in not chanting this nonsense.

I also suspect that when these kids go on to higher levels of education, and start dealing w/ the outside world, that they are going to have to 'grow up' and be mature adults (the home school students).

8. 2 years ago we had a similar incident in central Iowa

towns around DM.
Perry has meat packing plants where Mexicans were brought in decades ago to bust unions.
Perry players were subjected to racist chants (well "Trump" to be specific) during a game with Dallas Center-Grimes.
So it ain't just King country.

Iowa has really become a very unwelcoming place in the past decade.
Noi doubt we have hate radio, FUX News and hate TV to thank.
