North Carolina parents attending a high school football game were stunned by a banner implying a Catholic high school was privileged and populated with "rich, white" families.

"Sniff, Sniff. You smell that? $Privilege$," said a banner held by cheerleaders from Butler High School on Friday near Charlotte, WBTV reported. The school’s football team ran through the banner before the start of the game.

Butler was playing against Charlotte Catholic High School, and parents described being outraged that the sign implied their children were privileged.


"The thing that was so disturbing was it was children," Melissa Swanson, a parent who attended the football game with her son, told WBTV. "Whether they are high school, elementary school or middle school – they’re children. The administration, the coaches, the athletic director – they had to know it."

Swanson said the sign portrays the Catholic school as a "rich, white high school."

"That’s not the case by no means," Swanson, whose son is biracial, said of the sign's implication. "I am a single mom, and I raise my son on my own. We pay for that school and work hard to be there."

Other parents voiced outrage on social media, demanding the Charlotte Mecklenburg School district take action, WSOC reported.

"This was offensive, even racist and in really poor taste," one person wrote to WBTV of the banner. "I’m shocked that it was allowed. Does CMS really condone this kind of behavior?"

Guess only the woke in virtue signalling frenzy are allowed to express . . . well, whatever outrage they want to express.

Speaking of football, at the risk of sounding obsessed (no, really, Cats?) Aaron Rodgers, Packers QB, took a swipe at the woke culture on Tuesday: "There’s a game within the game. If the player abides by the rules of the game, he’s part of the game. The rules of the game are: You must acquiesce with the woke mob at all times. However, when you live above the game, the game does not exist, and that’s where I’m at."

Attaboy.

Similarly, when you live above the pub, the pub does not exist.
