Apparently a celebratory dance is grounds to cancel a season, a season that’s already in the playoffs! Here’s what’s happening:

Perry Hall High School students protested the early cancellation of the boys varsity soccer season after players were disiplined for performing a victory dance after a playoff game against rival Dulaney High on Tuesday. Police responded to the Thursday morning demonstration but no one was arrested, said Assistant Principal Stephen Arnold. The protest was in response to a decision to disqualify the team for the balance of the season because players displayed “inappropriate behavior that did not represent Perry Hall High School,” following the Tuesday afternoon game, Arnold said. Students, many wearing shirts that read “Bring Back Boys Varsity Soccer,” stood across from the school on a public sidewalk shortly after the school day began at 7:45 a.m. on Thursday. Some parents and students said the season ending disqualification was unfair. A number of those who attended the Tuesday afternoon game said that after Perry Hall athletes won the game, the boys simply performed the “Bernie” dance on the field. After parents of Dulaney students complained about the dance, the team was told that they could not compete any further in the regional championships, Arnold confirmed.

How politically correct is America going to become? Are we really that sensitive? All the team did was celebrate a big win, with a Bernie dance. That’s right, a Bernie dance.

Talk about an overreaction. All because the opposing school complained. Of course Perry Hall High School’s opponent (Dulaney High School) would be upset. They just got beat by their rival, and bounced from the state playoffs, all in one match. Does that mean you have to appease their cry for justice? No!

UPDATE – Principal reverses ‘Bernie’ dance decision:

Perry Hall High School Principal George Roberts announced Friday during a news conference that the decision to end the boys varsity soccer season early had been reversed, as first reported by Patch.

The Class 4A North region semifinal game between Perry Hall and Blake High School will be played at 2 p.m. Saturday at Blake in Montgomery County.
