School Warns Students Not To Chant ‘USA’, What Kids Do Instead Has Officials Regretting It

A California high school faced controversy after asking students not to chant “USA” during sporting events, fearing it might be seen as intolerant. At Vista Del Lago High School in Folsom, students traditionally chanted “USA” to show pride, but officials requested caution, as similar chants had been used derogatorily in other schools.

Senior Ryan Bernal questioned the decision, saying, “Why can’t we chant USA? We’re all American. It doesn’t matter what your skin tone is or where you’re from.”

The school’s principal explained the concern in an email, saying, “We can communicate an unintended message” through the chant. However, the principal clarified the chant is welcome during appropriate moments like after the Pledge of Allegiance or the national anthem.

District officials emphasized that there is no ban on the chant, but they encourage empathy and kindness alongside patriotism.

Readers voiced strong opinions online, with one comment stating, “Shame on the leadership of that school… be thankful the students voiced their love for our country.”
