WTF are they protesting? The snapchat images have been unanimously condemned, the school is investigating, the Flag of America and those that sacrificed for it has 0 to do with it.

The issue is some have said "sit if you want to, we'll be sympathetic to your needs"

According to your article:

Quote:
Those students remained seated during the national anthem as a form of protest.

The News-Sentinel reports that the students led several chants condemning racism and calling for the students involved to be expelled.
"Hey, hey, ho, ho, racism has got to go," the students chanted.
"No justice, no peace, no racist, UT," they said another time.
"What do we want? Expulsion! When do we want it? Now!" they chanted at halftime.

This was in response to the school saying they likely wouldn't expel the student.

Your article then mentions that one of the kids involved "left" the school the next day.
