The border war: dumb disintegrates to exponential idiocy

Parents complain to the Kansas City, Missouri, board of education about the playing of the University of Kansas fight song at an elementary school:

T>>he demise of the Border War for the foreseeable future certainly hasn't diminished the hostility between Kansas and Missouri fans.

A Missouri school in the Kansas City suburbs found that out the hard way last week when it played Kansas' fight song during morning announcements the day of the national title game between the Jayhawks and Kentucky.

According to the Kansas City Star, several parents were furious Trailridge Elementary School played the fight song of Missouri's most bitter rival even though the Kansas City area traditionally is split between Tigers and Jayhawks fans. The parents have since gone so far as to send emails to the school and take their fight to the board of education.<<
