School officials in Utah are investigating a video posted on social media showing five teenage white girls screaming racial slurs and profanity.
The Instagram video, which shows the girls giggling as they scream, f*ck n*ggers, was reported Monday to administrators with the Weber School District, reported Deseret News.
The girls were identified on social media as cheerleaders at Weber High School, but the district has not confirmed their identities.

So the kids are following the example of their republican parents and their exalted "leader," Comrade Casino.. Sad.

So, while they probably wish it weren't so public, they likely agree with the sentiment.

(268 posts)I always hoped that generations following mine- I'm 55- would be MORE tolerant, MORE open-minded, and far less racist; unfortunately, it seems I've been too optimistic. This is unbelievably sad.

(11,362 posts)I'm about your age. As a generation, ours was far more bigoted and intolerant as teens. That doesn't mean that there aren't still pockets of this country where this happens though - just that there are fewer such places.

(61,695 posts)Have another contest or vote or however they select them, but these girls should be banned from cheerleading for the remainder of this year. They would be in my school district.
In my old school district, way back when, they would have had their behinds paddled. (not saying that's right; I would just expel them from the Cheerleading squad and suspend them from school).

(63,221 posts)feed off each other. Whether it's the town they live in, their church, their school or their state, they have learned that this kind of behavior is acceptable and that they will not be shamed or punished for it.
I would like to see them learn a very harsh lesson!
