ORLANDO, Fla. — A social media post deemed “inappropriate” by school officials resulted in the cancellation of the junior varsity and freshman football games scheduled Thursday night between Bishop Moore and Edgewater high schools.
A varsity football game between the high schools will be played Friday night, according to Bishop Moore, which is the host school.
A response Thursday to the original post included language that some could consider a threat.
A Facebook post on Bishop Moore’s account announcing Thursday’s cancellation and attributed to “BMC Administration” urged parents to talk with their children.
“The comment made on social media has been addressed by the school administration and local law enforcement. Please speak to your children about the importance of responsible and mature social media use that reflect our Catholic values,” the BMC Administration post said.
“The safety and well-being of our students are always our first and foremost priority.”
