  • March 5, 2021: 16-year-old Jazmine Rembert is not shy when it comes to standing up for what’s right.
    “I’m so sorry, but it’s 2021. We’re not taking any steps forward, we're taking steps back and it's because of people like you,” she said in a 17-second video posted to TikTok.
    Those comments she made in the video got her temporarily kicked off the Wickliffe High School competition cheer squad after confronting two of her teammates who allegedly mocked police brutality on social media: One student used homophobic slurs, made fun of a disabled cheerleader and told a Black student to go pick cotton.
    Many joined in, pleading for the video to be deleted, but Jazmine said it remained up for hours until the student started to receive death threats. That’s when they reached out to the coach for help.
    But instead of helping diffuse the tension, coach Jessica Hopton followed up with a text to Jazmine about her video: 'Your public snap was a reflection on you, cheer, and the school. And as far as cheerleading, it is my discretion on how or when to punish the girls on the team without a public monologue from someone who is supposed to be her team mate on one of those teams.'
