High School Cheer Team Rocked by Anonymous Racist Email

squad in Virginia’s largest school district has been rocked by an anonymous racist email that praised the team’s new coach for not being “another colored individual coaching cheerleading.”

Lane’s letter also said cheer families were invited to an “optional meeting” on May 2 to discuss the anonymous email, but Stevens said a parent told them that only “10 percent” of the cheer parents attended. “The cheer team parents, and student athletes stand 100% with this sentiment. …I want to reassure each and every student, family member and staff, that Oakton remains a safe and welcoming place for all,” the letter said.

“Our fear is that the history of Oakton cheerleading will be tarnished and remembered with conversations of ‘peo[p]le’ who destroyed something that so many people worked hard for.”
