NCU Cheerleader allegedly suspended for depicting Homosexuality in routine (VIDEO)
Northern Caribbean University (NCU), located in Manchester is a private Christian institution owned and operated by the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
According to reports at least one student from the institution was forced to take a break from classes for her role in a cheer-leading routine.
According to the Lead: A member of the Brodie cheer-leading team from Northern Caribbean University was suspended by The University Relationship Department for her role in a cheer-leading routine depicting a same-sex proposal.
When we spoke to the young woman she said “ the routine was to depict a wedding cake with a bride and groom statue. The reason I was on the top instead of a male is because I was the lightest person; hence, the reason I was up there and in a male outfit. I have been doing cheer-leading for the past three years and for the past two years no matter how I dressed at school and no matter who I am, I always wear the female outfit. It was just props”
It is confirmed that the young woman was the only member of the cheer-leading team who got suspended from school; however, the house cheer-leading was disqualified on the day of the sports day event (March 4, 2014).
Many students vented their disgust about the young woman’s sexual orientation and the cheer-leading routine but few of the students were tight lipped. A male student said “this is a Christian institution so the ethos must be maintained.”
The young woman vented her anger and disclosed that she is aware of other instances where other students were suspended by the same department because they were having sex in the confines of their home. She believes that the University is being discriminative towards her and is going to unconventional extents by meddling in students private lives.
See the video of the routine below: The same sex proposal occurs at aprroximately – 6 mins 20 secs

I think you guys is looking popularity, most of the stuff you wrote isn’t true she was not suspended the team was disqualified thats about it..
Suspend the entire team then…why single her out? Makes no sense…It was a team routine…..I think there is more to this story…
Suspended for being amateurish?
its a performance…. I dnt c the big issue
thats bullshit
Listen I don’t think she was suspended solely because of the role she played in the cheerleading competition, NCU is a known Christian institution so they obviously has rules n guidelines,the female was called to a meeting n she turned up wit a ring in her tongue and fr my understanding she is a known lesbian
Hahaha ! Jamaica and its people will always make me laugh ! I don’t understand the issue here. This girl maybe lesbian or whatever but in this specific context she is just a girl performing a show on a stage. Just to remind people, right from the Ancient Grece to the English Elisabethan theater and also in contemporary shows, women have performed male roles and men have performed female roles without being charged as deviant, as gay friendly or pro-transgenderism. It is only a show where the role that people play do not has to be related to what they… Read more »
Your opinions don’t matter for a privately owned university with clearly stated rules. Don’t attend the ppl dem school if your purpose is to disrespect their values & standards. You have a choice, choose another school.
this shouldnt even be called cheerleading. it is such a mess but didnt warrant a suspension
i don’t think it warrants a suspension. it’s a team routine suspend the team. Besides it’s just props why are we so small minded
I don’t think the administration of NCU would be so petty to suspend this young lady over a dance routine, there is much more to this story than what is being reporting.
Don’t see what the big deal is. It’s just a routine and it’s not as if she did a sexual act with another female during the routine. Smh. Utter bullshit!
Regardless of being a christian institution, it has no right to judge people on their sexual orientation, beliefs or preferences. The mere fact that she impersonated a male, by wearing male clothes clearly shows she was not trying to disregard the accepted “norm” of the school.
Wow, we Jamaicans with gays are like the Ku Klux Klan with black people with petty and ignorant bigotry we exhibit. I saw the video and I don’t see why that warranted a suspension at all.

Firstly i must say the routine is very boring, high school teams have performed better even with all girls. with that said what if the group comprised all girls then what would be said next point i dont know of any girl who would be willing to lift a male to the top of an pyramid and seeing as how the school is of christian principles why are dancehall moves and music incorporated into the routine, therefore it calls for all participants to be suspended. And regardless of the fact of the girls’ sexual orientation there is no grounds for… Read more »
my question is why didn’t a young man go on top and do it then? there were light weight men tn the routine. She was just being presumptuous
this is crap…it was part of the routine..NCU a behave too extreme…pretty sure they had someone supervising their practice sessions so y did no one tell them that was unacceptable?
this is crap…it was part of the routine..NCU a behave too extreme
All i hear in back ground is ignorant fools, (who might be a bag a homo themselves but guess what no one knows, “a man is never a thief until him get caught” ) you all called yourself a so call straight man or woman, but when ever you see two men or women who might be family are good friends all can come to your mind is sex between them, your not straight at all, what you all need to be upset over you condole it without a word, if night could become day and to reveal some of… Read more »
this cheerleading nah shot at all
i think if their no males on the team that is light to play that part and a female decided to play that part, i dont see any thing wrong with it..That is discriminated, if you going to suspend someone why not the whole team. In the future why not explain to the crowd what the dance protraits and the reason you using who youre using remember their are lot of ileterate people out thier and things and time change.
There are lots of colleges/university in jamaica, if the rules of one are not to your liking then go someplace else. Jamaicans like to uphold too much carp. Even in hell there are rules…..kmt.
Crap
THIS ARTICLE IS ONE-SIDED AND APPARENTLY ENOUGH INVESTIGATION WASN’T DONE PRIOR TO ITS PUBLICATION!!! The student was suspended because she changed the routine after it was vetted by the committee. Where are your views from the INSTITUTION??? You cannot publish an article that could incite persons to think or act negatively without doing adequate research; even a “no comment” quote from the school would have been suffice. On a personal level ….after seeing this girl on the television, I wondered why she would choose to attend a stern Christian institution that its teachings are based on the merging of biblical… Read more »

NCU sucks. Not worthy of any further comment.
why didn’t they suspend the persons who were throwing bottles? go doesn’t support violence either right?
what is it i know the reason why them used her because she is smaller so i dont know what the big thing about i cant see it so if you see it well tell it to god
i would first like to know the “real” reason for the suspension. was she suspended for the sports day routine or was she suspended for her “known” sexual orientation. If she was suspended for her “known” sexual orientation I beleive the university might have erred in that judgement as they could have acted before now. I do not encourage nor do I beleive in homosexuality but I also know that as christians we cannot deal with this matter as the world. So referring to the young lady with all the names that some persons are doing is just wrong. What… Read more »
kmt i dont see the reason to suspend
kmt i dont see the reason to suspend
The proposal act brought on so many boos….not even the fellow students are in support
nonsence
worst routine ever i would suspend the entire team waste of time
thats bull suspending the squad fa foolishness
#its_just_cheerleading… #bull…
Corruption begins at the head and trickles down. This is totally irrelevant and she should be reinstated with an apology from the president of the university himself. It was a team effort, why punish her. They must face reality, homosexuals are rampant on the campus of every school and university including NCU . The young lady is not one but was depicting reality. If I was being given 10 million dollars to attend NCU as a student I would humbly decline.
this just sound like a miss judgement, sound liker rubbbish
Noelle, who r u?? I av a right to my opinion. Dont tell me to shut up!!!!!. U ppl r too judgemental, so quick to case down and tear down. I bet u urself dont even know the full TRUTH (not story)yet I on here with ur negative vibz. So so happy GOD is not like man. Still yet to here or see what the girl did wrong that warrants suspension. HYPOCRISTS
I honestly feel that this young lady is not adventist because had she been an adventist student they would not have treated her like that especially if she had a relative at any of the conferences.. I am 100% sure that adventist students at NCU are indulging in homosexual acts and so much more even on the sabbath. she was merely trying to get a point across if she had done the same in a female costume then they could say she was depicting homosexuality. Ok NCU students you can attack me now!!
i dont even see what all of this about,i dont see why see or even the team to be suspendid,its all crap.
It is unfair to single out her when it was a team routine . NCU have too much roles u need to relax a little
Lawd jesas….smh Proud…Seventh-Gay Adventist.
