Butler High School Involved In High School Football Sign Controversy
The school’s cheerleaders revealed the sign at the game against Charlotte Catholic.
According to WBTV, Butler High School, its cheerleaders, and staff are in some hot water. CMS is investigating a sign that was unveiled at the Butler/Charlotte Catholic football game.
The Butler cheerleaders took the field and revealed a huge sign for the team to run through as they took the playing field. It read ” Sniff, Sniff, You smell that? Privilege” Privilege was written in white with money signs on both sides.
Here is the statement CMS sent to WBTV,
“CMS is aware of an insensitive banner displayed by the Butler HS cheerleading squad prior to the school’s football game versus Charlotte Catholic last Friday. Squad members and adults responsible for oversight will face consequences as a result of that banner display. School and district officials will offer no specific information about this disciplinary matter. Principal Golden and Learning Community Superintendent Tangela Williams have spoken with leaders from Charlotte Catholic to offer verbal apologies. Butler High School cheerleaders have sent an apology letter to counterparts at Charlotte Catholic. Soon there will be a meeting between the schools’ cheerleading squads to facilitate goodwill and understanding,” Vicki Grooms, CMS Media Relations Specialist, wrote.
