Cheerleaders Take a Knee, School District Receives Threats

The Cornell School District has received an estimated five or six hundred phone calls and emails in the aftermath of a video released on social media criticizing the actions of a high school cheerleading squad that took a knee during the National Anthem at a home game September 30.

The video calls out protesters for being blatantly disrespectful to members of a local veterans group who were invited to act as the color guard during the game.
