BETHANY, Okla. -
Students at Southern Nazarene University have launched a petition to prevent a potential new policy that would prevent students from kneeling during the national anthem.
Students and student athletes created the petition after some of the women s soccer team knelt during the national anthem at two of their home games.
Members of that team said they became concerned after several meetings with the university s president. There hasn t really been any other team that s kneeled but us, said SNU women s soccer team member Alejandra Andrade.
Other members of the team told News 9 the first decision that started everything was made in unity.
