Basketball Players Defend Cheerleader Targeted By Bullies

These days, we hear so many stories about school kids getting bullied or doing the bullying. The stories that tend to get lost in the noise are those where a kid is being bullied and everyone around them suddenly stands up and says “no more“.

When a cheerleader at Lincoln Middle School, who has Down’s Syndrome, was getting bullied by the opposing school’s fans, Lincoln Middle School’s basketball team did something no one expected to see. If the courage of the young lady doesn’t already tug at your heartstrings, what the basketball team did when they saw one of their own getting picked on certainly will.
