The controversy around kneeling during and before the national anthem at football games has reached the high school level.

A principal of a high school in Louisiana wrote in a letter dated Thursday that the administration would punish students with suspensions or removal from sports teams if they demonstrate during the national anthem. The principal wrote that the Louisiana High School Athletic Association allows principals to make decisions regarding student participation in the national anthem while competing in athletic contests and games.

Principal Waylon Bates of Parkway High School in Bossier, La. called such demonstrations a “disruption.”

“Parkway High School requires student athletes to stand in a respectful manner throughout the National Anthem during any sporting event in which their team is participating,” he wrote. “Failure to comply will result in a loss of playing time and/or participation as directed by the head coach and principal. Continued failure to comply will result in removal from the team.”

Parkway is home to a pair of top-shelf prospects, including dual threat quarterback Justin Rogers, who is a 4-star recruit, according to 247 Sports Composite. Rogers is committed to TCU, though he has 27 offers and LSU was believed to be one of his finalists.

Another recruit, Terrace Marshall, Jr., is a 5-star recruit, the top player in Louisiana and the No. 9 player in the country. Both of those players, and others, have weighed in on the principal’s letter. Marshall also has 27 offers, and the 247 Crystal Ball has him likely headed to LSU.
