Trump gear has been banned at one high school football game.
Administrators at an Arizona high school have told those who want to attend Friday’s football game: Come if you want – but leave the Donald Trump gear at home.
Why?
It can be perceived as “racist” or “offensive,” the message from Corona del Sol High School in Tempe read.
As Breitbart found, a school official tweeted: “Anything perceived to be offensive/racist: green, USA, flags, Trump, etc. It’s not the clothing, but the intent behind it.” The message was signed by “Sunrise Staff.”
The game was supposed to go forth with a “USA” theme, Breitbart said. But the plan changed when it appeared that theme could bring on trouble.
The editorial board of the Corona student newspaper wrote: “The Tribe tweeted out that the theme for the game would be ‘USA’ and students should wear red, white and blue. Administration recognized that this theme had negative connotations. This is not something that can be denied – past games, even as far back as over eight years ago, have showcased themes and chants that appeared racist or offensive toward Marcos [school]. The theme was changed to ‘Orange Out’ after the administration decided it was best to avoid any possible offensive connotations the theme would have.”
The newspaper also warned: “Students dressed inappropriately will not be admitted.”
A Twitter user then asked for a definition of “inappropriate dress,” and the school responded with its assessment of Trump gear.
