Cheerleaders On Probation From North Stanly High School For MAGA Sign
Cheerleaders from North Stanly High School, located roughly 48 miles northeast of Charlotte. have been placed on probation after holding up a “TRUMP 2020″ banner at a home football game last month.
“It was just what came to our mind when we thought of the United States of America,” said student Carson Palmer, who brought the flag down near the field before the game.
“We got there about 30 minutes before the game even started and before the national anthem was played because I did read the policy that the flag had to be on this side of the fence before the national anthem was played,” he said.
That’s when Palmer said he and his buddy, Matthew Mangham, both juniors at the school, had stopped to snap a picture with a group of cheerleaders. The students said they thought nothing of it until a few days later when they were called in to talk to their principal.
Board of Education officials said, ultimately, they decided that no disciplinary action needed be taken but did ask the students not to display the flag again.
