I grew up in Kansas ... lived in Lawrence for several of them and love my Hawks! Seven years ago my husband was transferred to Fayetteville, North Carolina. In my second-grade classroom I proudly display my KU pennant. When our principal declares UNC or Duke Fridays at school I put on my KU shirt and proudly walk through the halls. This past week at school has been a difficult one. I wore my KU jacket every day. I got all KINDS of grief from parents. One told me to burn my beloved shirt. I retaliated by teaching about 80 kids (who were waiting after school to be picked up by their parents) the Rock Chalk Jayhawk Chant. I was then accused of heresy by our PE teacher. When KU won I was with another teacher from Texas who had the same prayer as I ... a Hawk victory. We were not disappointed. Monday at school I will be gracious ... and my Hawks victorious! I miss Kansas so much ... but my Hawks help me to stay closer to home. On Monday I'm wearing my KU shirt to school ... again! ROCK CHALK ... JAYHAWK ... K ... U!
