(Image description: football banner being held up which reads, “Hey Indians, get ready to leave in a Trail of Tears Round 2”)
Last night, this sign went up at a McAdory High School football game.
I am absolutely disgusted that this sign was allowed to go up, and that it was not stopped by school administrators, and that after this, no one has mentioned it.
The school and the students have shown no remorse for the sign (as expected) and the students have claimed ignorance and/or that it was just a “joke”.
Sorry, but the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the death of thousands of Native Americans is not a fucking joke.
WHAT THE FUCK. Signal boost, some people need to get fired for this shit.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW, LIKE REALLY, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, I FUCKING HATE EVERYTHING.
This is disgusting.
For the record, McAdory High School is in McCalla, Alabama, as part of the Jefferson County School District.
Here is their website, with a big “contact us” button at the top. Since it’s Sunday you probably won’t be able to reach them by phone but you can start emailing them.
You know what to do, folks.
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST REALLY?
I’m sorry but I think it’s funny
How is it funny? To mock a genocide of the Cherokee people?
