A pair of high school cheerleaders from California earned high praise from National Public Radio for kneeling during the national anthem at their high school games.
One was even highlighted for writing her own, Black Lives Matter-styled version of the “Star Spangled Banner.”
Cheerleaders Sasha Armbrester and Teana Boston of James Logan High School in Union City have been protesting against the U.S. for most of this year. The teens claim that former NFL player Colin Kaepernick “inspired” them to launch their protests, but, they also say their high school class work made them want to stand against the country, too.
In a December 1 piece published in the name of cheerleader Sasha Armbrester, the cheer team member insisted that the “ethnic studies” class she took in high school taught her that the U.S.A. is not a good place and made her reconsider standing in honor of the country during the national anthem.

Isn't "Disruptive Behavior" a disciplinary offence that can be dealt with by punishment? They go after kids wearing "T" shirts with slogans.
NPR needs to go away!!!
2 more victims of the public education system. Completely mis-educated. And since when have cheerleaders been leaders?
meh
go home little girl
Their parents and teachers should be put on the terrorist watch list - right next to them!
California + Kaepernick inspiring you = idiot.
Trash!
I am not impressed by the actions of two cheerleaders who are impressed by some overpaid racist football players.
Former football player, LMAO
When you need a good read on the condition of the world, a cheerleader is always your best bet.
you folks say you love freedom. ha! only when its spun to your way of thinking. what a joke!
This is not a cheerocracy, this is a cheertatorship! Whatever.
Stupid little girls. If you don't like this country then leave. Try an Arab country where you as a female would have no rights.
If you don't like the flag and what it stands for, don't ever take a handout from the government then.
They think they are so cool at the moment. But, wait until they apply for the job they really, really want and the potential employer does a Google search about them.
They just had their resume' tossed in the trash can because of acting like a fool and employers don't like to hire fools.
Hope Sasha will be inspired to return to and live in the country her ancestors left when they came to America. Perhaps she'll even renounce her citizenship here.
