Female Dance Squad Ordered to Remove Shirts Because American Flag Colors 'Offensive' to Leftists

Somehow, they might have worded the title a bit better. TD

"An all-female dance troupe in Seattle claims they were told to remove their American flag-themed shirts because they made leftists feel “triggered and unsafe.”

"The Borderline Dance team claims they were told by the Rain Country Dance Association, a gay group that sponsors the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle, that they were not welcome because of their red, white, and blue uniforms.

“ 'Unfortunately, what our team was met with upon arrival was that our flag tops were offensive to some of the convention goers,” the dance group wrote on their Facebook page. “There was a small group that felt ‘triggered and unsafe.'”

"Co-captain Lindsay Stamp told talk show host Jason Rantz that they were shocked by how they were treated.

“ 'At first we were told we would just be boo’d, yelled at and likely many of them would walk out,” the group’s Facebook post explained. “This did not deter us. But then we were given an ultimatum. Remove the flag tops and perform in either street clothes (which most didn’t bring as they traveled there in their uniforms) or they would supply us with ECH shirts from years past… Or, don’t perform at all, which effectively was asking us to leave.' ” . . .
