Students Accused Of Racism After Patriotic Chant At High School Basketball Game According to recent reports, it is now considered racist to chant USA! at sporting games. Or at least, such was the case for fans of one high school girls basketball team in Texas, who are now being accused of racism for repeatedly chanting USA, USA, USA! The Idalou High School fans were cheering their team on as they were playing Slaton High School. According to reports, Slaton High School has a primarily Hispanic basketball team. Now, the Superintendent Julee Becker of Slaton High School is speaking out against Idalou. I believe that we are a microcosm in schools of greater society, Becker told reporters. Thats what we are. The symptoms of racism, they run deep. I apologize to Slaton ISD and the chanting will not be allowed to continue at games because of the perception it creates, Idalou Superintendent Jim Waller responded in an apology. What do you think? Is this a complete overreaction to an innocent cheer?
