Indoctrination: Kansas City Elementary School Asks Kids to Dress Like a Referee
Published:
A reader sent this over. He says it was posted on an Eagles fan page by someone who lives in Kansas City and has a kid in elementary school. Wednesday is “dress like a referee” day:
They want you to think this is harmless. It’s “SUPERBOWL (sic) SPIRIT WEEK” and the kids are innocent and just having fun, but we all know what’s really going on here. This is North Korea-style indoctrination. It’s brainwashing. These kids are growing up thinking that NFL refs are to be celebrated, that they are as much a part of the Chiefs franchise as Travis Kelce and Chris Jones. They want to normalize, at a young age, officiating bias and horrendous spotting of the ball. Case in point, if Zack Baun even breathes on Patrick Mahomes near the sideline, he’s getting a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Sunday evening. And if Jalen Hurts isn’t at least three yards over the first-down line on the tush push, they’re marking him short. You know it, I know it, and Chiefs fans know it. That’s why they’re having their children dress up like refs at school. This should be banned. Where are the Moms for Liberty when you really need them?
