So sad to see this filtering down to high schools. Mindless chants taught by Trump. Shameful.

Tensions from last week’s election seeped into a girls volleyball match, when students from Archer City chanted “Build a wall!” and “Come and take it!” when playing Fort Hancock, a school on the Texas-Mexico border that is 97 percent Hispanic.
.........................

“Build a wall” refers to President-elect Donald Trump’s comments made during the campaign that he wants to build a wall on the Mexico border and “Come and take it” is a reference to the Battle of Gonzales, the first military engagement in the Texas Revolution against Mexico................



Archer City, which last year had an enrollment of 384, is 83 percent white and 9 percent Hispanic, according to the Texas Education Agency.
..........................

Fort Hancock, population 1,750, is in Hudspeth County on the Texas-Mexico border 72 miles southeast of El Paso. The school district had an enrollment of 434 and is 97 percent Hispanic, according to the TEA.

2. where do you think they learned it from

And felt so free to say it in public like that

6. sad, but likely true.

3. Native North Americans and (white) Spanish explorers and colonists

were here long before other the white European and UK immigrants. The more recently immigrated whites took away the land from those people who were already living there.

I suppose that none of these students or their parents have any knowledge of history.

4. There's no taunting in NCAA football.

I would call that behavior taunting. I wonder if the rule exists in high schools in Texas, or if bullying is encouraged?

5. Our students are not racists. Its as simple as that.

Fuck they aren't, asshole.

7. Fort Hancock...........

where Red entered Mexico to meet with Andy DuFresne in the Shawshank Redemption. For Red it meant the beginning of his true freedom.

For these young kids it should be the beginning of their freedom into the US, not so much.

8. Students should know that anyone who needs to chant for a wall is WEAK.

9. Who are the intolerant bigots again?
