A high school marching band performed a skit acting out shooting cops in a town that recently lost two cops in a shooting.

Who in the world was in charge of the kids setting up that skit???

WTH? Glad they were uninvited to the competition.

The fact that it was a few Black people using fake guns over some other Black people means it might not go as viral.

All faculty involved should be fired for cause.

All kids involved should be expelled.

All are savages. Not human beings.

The kids will end up in jail, long term anyway, where they will no doubt, belong.

Does the school do Holocaust skits , too? What is wrong with them?

Strange behavior. Wonder who’s idea that was.

Band director suspended. Should be fired.

I don't get it. The students on the ground don't look like cops to me - aren't they wearing white shirts and black pants with black suspenders?

And why are the shooters wearing doctor and nurse outfits?

This just seems really odd.

The faculty advisor/band leader should be relieved of his duties. I don't know that I'd fire him from a teaching job, but he'd be done with the band.


The kids should receive nothing more than a talking to. It is up to the adults to set the boundaries.


The kids are also being fed a narrative; that narrative needs to be challenged and no one is.


Lest there be any confusion as to, "oh maybe they didn't mean that way", judge for yourself.
