Conflicting accounts. Angry parents. Who gave order for basketball kids to remove ‘stop racism’ T-sh

The parents hoped the protest would teach their sons a valuable lesson about standing up against intolerance.

Playing in a basketball tournament in Clark, the seventh graders wore shirts that read “equality” and “end racism” in protest against the township’s mayor, Sal Bonaccorso, who is under fire for using racial slurs that included the N-word.

Such social justice insignias have become commonplace in professional sports, from the NBA to the NFL to even NASCAR. Yet on Saturday, the West Orange team was ordered to remove their anti-racism shirts if they wanted to continue playing at Arthur L. Johnson High School, prompting them to walk away from the tourney.
