They are really getting out of control in North Carolina. If the Pope held mass there he would say the word at least once before getting back on the plane.

DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. — A school in Davidson County decided to end the soccer season after a controversial and viral video included some unruly behavior from its students.
East Davidson High School announced on Wednesday that the varsity soccer team’s season will end, effective immediately. This comes after a video of students were using a racial slur over the weekend on the bus on the way to a soccer match.
The school issued the following statement on its social media:
“After thorough investigation and careful consideration of the behavior depicted in the social media post that circulated over the weekend, the decision has been made to end the varsity soccer season effective immediately. This decision reflects the seriousness of the situation and our commitment to upholding the standards of conduct and accountability expected of all students representing our school. The behavior depicted in the social media post is unacceptable and does not reflect the standards we uphold at East Davidson High School. We recognize the impact this decision has on our student-athletes and appreciate our school community’s understanding as we address this matter.”
The video also sparked concerns from the Davidson County NAACP Branch, whose president Reverend Alan Suber said the organization was able to speak with the Davidson County Schools district about the video.
Suber said in part, “The Davidson County NAACP is deeply saddened by what took place at East Davidson High School, and the students and families it impacted. We are grateful for the partnership that we have established with Davidson County Schools and Superintendent Dr. Gregg Slate to voice our concerns openly.”
The principal of East Davidson High School said on Monday that the school will continue to hold students accountable for their actions and reinforce the importance of making responsible choices that contribute to a positive and inclusive school environment.
