Last night, this sign went up at a McAdory High School football game.

I am absolutely disgusted that this sign was allowed to go up, and that it was not stopped by school administrators, and that after this, no one has mentioned it.

The school and the students have shown no remorse for the sign (as expected) and the students have claimed ignorance and/or that it was just a "joke".

Sorry, but the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the death of thousands of Native Americans is not a joke.

EDIT: As of 5 pm Sunday, no response from the school has been issued, and the local news to which I have reported this incident have not looked into it either. Further information will be added as it comes to me.

McAdory's opponents were the Pinson Valley Indians. (Incidentally, McAdory is where Bo Jackson went to high school.)
