A Missouri school district is apologizing for “unsportsmanlike” and “insensitive” behavior by white students during a basketball game against a rival team with black players.

In a clip circulating online, the white students from Warrensburg High School are seen turning their backs as the black students on the Center High School team are introduced before the game Monday night.

The district posted a statement on Facebook apologizing:

Members of our student body acted inappropriately and were insensitive toward our opponents. The Warrensburg R-VI School District does not condone these actions and apologizes to anyone who was offended by the actions of these students. We will do everything we can to keep incidents like this from happening again.

Apparently it's "Dress Like a Farmer Day" also at Warrensburg
High School, unless that's the way they dress every day.

1. Ir was a "dress like a farmer" theme for the high school basketball game.

Here is the story from the Kansas City Star that I posted last night:

2. I didn't catch it in the Missouri forum. The replies are basically depressing, although interesting.

They may claim it was a "theme" costume but I think their brains and hearts are wearing little overalls, too, and carrying "Trump" signs.
