Ohio high school students chant gay slur at football game [video]
”Powder blue faggots! Powder blue faggots!”
A chant repeated by dozens of high school students caught on video at North High School in Ohio. The person who recorded the video says the chant happened at least three times, then she left disgusted. (YouTube)
”We did put a stop to it as soon as we heard them chanting it, and it’s totally unacceptable and they know we don’t condone that type of behavior…. I do announcements all the time on the [public address system], and I always, we always talk to the kids about appropriate behavior and what’s expected of our students.”
Jennifer Chauby, principal of North High School, telling WREG that there are too many students involved in the “faggot” chanting episode to suspend them all. (WREG 3)
