WIAA not only state with a fan-chanting problem, apparently

Iowa students chant Donald Trump after playoff loss

It wasn’t that long ago, the WIAA was in the middle of controversy for sending an email to schools, telling faculty how to control their fans … banning chants like “AIR BALL” and “SCOREBOARD.”

Iowa, apparently, has taken things to … maybe not the next level, but another level.

A group of Iowa high school students has been admonished for seemingly using Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s name as a racial insult during a boys’ basketball game. Or at least an insult, anyway. 

The chant occurred Monday during a playoff game between Dallas Center-Grimes a predominately white school in West Des Moines and Perry, a more diverse school north of Des Moines.

About a dozen students chanted Trump’s name after their team lost to Perry.

Trump has drawn fire for saying that illegal immigration from Mexico brings rapists and drug dealers into the U.S., among other things.

Watson says the chant was uttered three or four times before administrators stopped the students.

He declined to say whether the students were disciplined, citing privacy policies.
