Wealthy School Apologizes For Insulting Chants
POSTED: 3:03 pm CST January 7, 2006
UPDATED: 3:11 pm CST January 7, 2006
MIDDLETON, Wis. -- Officials at a Wisconsin high school are apologizing for insults chanted at a basketball game.
In their chant, fans of a suburban Madison school insulted their city opponents by suggesting they need food stamps to eat.
The Middleton High School fans chanted "food stamps, food stamps" and "Os-car May-er" during a game against Madison East on Dec. 20.
Middleton is a well-to-do suburb, while 40 percent of Madison East's students are eligible for federally subsidized lunches.
Oscar Mayer's headquarters lies in East's attendance area.
Middleton officials sent a letter of apology to East on Friday.
Middleton's principal said three seniors started the chant and they've offered to apologize.
East got the last laugh. They beat Middleton 66-55.

It has nothing to do with its being liberal. It's just rude.

That was mean and rude on the part of the students from Middleton. At least East won the game.

 And:
I'll bet if you look at the demographics that town is probably on the conservative side of things...

Methinks that the children* learned disdain for those of other economic stature from someone close to them. Children very often learn by example.
*yes, highschoolers are still developing children
