Can confirm, racist things get said out in that area and the teachers never used to do shit, granted I'm speaking from a decade ago, but even then I think the casual racism was pretty out of place in the modern world (in VT) even then and the admins certainly didn't do anything to stop it.

If it's the parents though what exactly do you want the school to do besides kick the individuals out of the games? Honest question, public schools only have so much power when the parents spout racist bullshit at home

I know what you mean, also where I went to school sounds like just a few years before you. There was a period in the late 90’s/early 00’s where the favorite was to call anything you didn’t like “Jewish.”

This also just happened at cvu on friday so I wouldn't explicitly blame it on "that area"

My teens tell me that EF and CV are pretty notorious for racist bs at games. I don't know what the school can do about the parents other than ban them from games after the fact, but I respect the kids for saying fuck that we're not going there. It's more than they should have to put up with over a game.

What i would want is the school to have security kick the person out immediately and ban them from future games. If it continues to happen, they need to have closed games with no fans

Who is this security you speak of at after hours games? Seriously.... I'm pretty sure the school cops are only around during school hours and not at every event, unless something changed? Also as far as I know not every high school even has one of those security officers, mine didn't when I was there.

That's kind of the problem, it comes down to whatever small number of school officials (usually under 5) who are actually at the game and making the decision to call the police on a parent is a hard line to cross, especially when the asshat will always scream freedom of speech if the police come after them.

As much as I consider it abuse and harassment if they aren't actively assaulting someone the police don't usually want to get involved and then you have a teacher trying to forcibly remove a parent. We don't give them the resources to do things like that in small towns....

I think if you did a schoolwide..hell even a state wide ban on sports for 1,2,3 years that MIGHT be enough to drive home the point that this stuff is Extra-curricular and not really relevant to actual education. Put it back on the communities that support student athletics to be held accountable as a whole..see how fast this stuff gets nipped when everybody pays for the ignorant actions of a few.
