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
Let us know if you think a suspension was warranted in the comments.

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 are in real life: just a play ! Now raise the issue of what Jamaica has become and how the homophobic background of the country is deeply fixed. I have been travelling all over the world and I’m so chocked looking at how Jamaicans think they should express their christian faith. I visited a girl catholic school in Italy where nobody bothered that only girls where there to embody the nativity scene, not even the bishop present that day . Some should listen to the speech of our Pope about understanding and tolerance more often. Once again, Jamaica is showing to the rest of the world its close-mindeness and archaic features. Come on, this is 21th century. All this issue is so ridiculous…
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 suspension. this is tertiary level education and this is being treated as if this was primary school. These ppl r basically adults, regardless of whatever rules they may have and all even if the routine wasnt passed by a board, suspension is going overboard and if it waas me that two weeks of school fee would have to be refunded. A lot of the students there as well as administration and so on carrying on with a lot worse and pretend to be saints so who are them to pass judgement on someone. apparently recreational activities are not a strong point for this institution
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 you people doing behide close doors.
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 principles with the curriculum. Lets move on to discuss events that will eventually impact all of our lives…the dismal economy and the increase in gang-related violence.
I guess sum a unnu a read wat mi she with sum ” Misunderstanding ” here . Hey Christine have you heard of the saying that the ” Bad apple spoil the hold bunch ” ? well that what happen to the team. and for her ” ring in her tongue ” was a personal ting ok. but as mi granny always she . de gud suffa fi de bad.
And as mi she before mi heard it from a reliable sources my ooman c0-worker a 7day and har dawta guh a de skool . and si she de skool its not like wat it was before a bare passa-passa a gwaan now a days .
and you sometimes wonder why people have been loosing so much confidence in the Church…smh…
They should suspend them all for that boring ass routine
Why didn’t a male do the proposal? Nu support this at all
no
kmt foolishness so because of that…smh hv nth to do much??
them glowing shirt deh mad still.. f@%k evryting else..lol!
NCU sucks. Not worthy of any further comment.
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 is the purpose of education? And as a christian institution how could this young lady have been reached? And let us remember the good scripture that says “he that is without sin cast the first stone”
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.
If NCU is a religious based organization, they should be reflecting God’s view on matters of morals and boldly speak about it, morals are rapidly declining,
None was warranted
Let’s be fair folks.do not judge
suspend them all since so many men were there that could have played the part!!!
Moral of the story go to UWI or UTECH.
clearly it was part of the routine and if any one had any scence they would see that,as to her sexual orientation it does not matter! as to the comments made in the back gorund as to the promoting of same sex activities, did the school or institution put up bill boards flyers or pamphlets ? I don’t thinks so. what jamaica should responed to they don’t ? for example england enslaved us for many many years and we should seek our re-embersment cause they should cancel our debt and pay us back and every ohter colony that they had so if they become broke so be it they deserve bankrupcy!
Boring routine…..don’t see the point of it anyway!!! Thought it was to cheer-on the members of the house for the sports!!! This was a music video in the making? and sloppy at that! I agree there is more to the story…………….Its more than deviating from a sloppy routine……..If her ‘reported lifestyle/behaviour/deportment/whatever’ does not fit into the institutions values why did she apply to attend NUC? Give her back her tuition and make she go her way……They don’t have to accept pressure from non-conformist in a religious private institution……Or they restrict access to the public on religious grounds/rights……….lets see the Islamic’s set up a similar school…. open it to the public and see what happens!
suspend HER…nobody cares if you are gay…DO IT ON YOUR OWN TIME…when you start throwing it in people’s faces that where it becomes a problem and that’s what she was doing…
Exactly this was a team effort the single suspended student is treated unfairly
Duppy know a who fi frighten ya
If the university standards and morals has to do with the Adventist Faith and doctrine then, even the music been played should not have been used. I can’t see homosexuality in that act. It’s simple a performance, not speaking to her suspension as other reasons may have influenced that. But listening to persons recording the video it’s so ridiculous how intelligent and Christian like we claim to be yet stupid and judgemental. I just wrote a poem and I will share a line of one stanza,
“For a day is coming when one descends”
To restore those who lost their will
And to a new world the will ascend
And pray he righteous, be righteous still.”
If the girl was suspended for playing the part of a male, and the one second kiss on the hand, why was she not prevented from participating having turned up in male attire in the first place? Unless there is much more, on the face of it NCU made a crappy and stupid decision.
All I have to say is this, NCU is 2 double standard. why follow the activities of the world. If they were up holding their Christian principles this wouldn’t have gone thus far.
To disqualify them not “her” would be good enough if a rule set was not adhere to. A suspension is not warranted. The girl did not made the cheer leading “team” is a group of person so all should have suffered the consequences. On the other hand I’m not seeing anything wrong its called role playing which we practice from as early as playing “dolly house”. This thing is blown way out of proportion and context if you ask me. There are more social issue to discuss.
It can’t be she changed the routine on her own also it must have been a collective agreement. How a routine as such persons would know she specifically would need to be at the top and position her self? I would have a no care attitude to be frank going to that meeting because whats the big deal with a “role play” and i can imagine how they exploded on her alone no one to stand in solidarity for her. If she was caught in a compromise position on Campus knowing the rules and regulations it would have been warranted. My question when doing a drama piece, skit etc you are thought to take on the character and persona of that role? Thus the principle taught was used in doing the cheer leading routine.
Well this is my take on the whole thing (as a disclaimer I am very homophobic) but if you are going to be so specific as to suspend her because she was dressed as a male in cheer routine”in a christian school) then my question to you is why are you having a cheer competition in the first place. Everybody knows what cheer leading is all about so what’s the point.

dem shuda expell her an suspend de res a dem
boy our society gone to the dogs… where everything is scrutinized under sexuality issues… i guess we cant do cheeleading in jamaica…lol… the bottle throwing is amazing… where is the school board in that instance. the comments and boos from the spectators, you would think its on the street… the poor guy at the end… I would never recommend anyone to go study in an environment such as that. I bet they will never cheerlead again… SAD
I am sure the School Administrators know what they are doing, plus these are the things that they were put in place for and they are doing their jobs. I totally agree with the steps they have taken -TOTALLY!
Obviously the performance was poor and boring , but with all the educated comments against the school’s decision to suspend this student must be more that what we see or read about the matter. It’s sad but in such a society rudeness and disrespect for rule must be dealt with without prejudice.
Did the young lady choreograph the routine?
I agree that the matter needs to be thoroughly investigated and the chips lies where it falls. since when Adventist participating in things of the world such as cheer leading? The university was form or should be an university with a difference. What is happening now is that the standard of Christian principle as drop at the university and most of not all the other educational institutions. Read testimonies to the church volume 8 page 200 and see what the pen of inspiration say or suggest about our educational institutions.
I played and replayed the video @ 6.20 and did not see what the Huff and Puff was all about? AND if what I am reading is correct, which I doubt, what is the problem? she was apparently doing a routine, an entertainment routine. I guess the Pharisees are upset because they see themselves depicted!
If she said it was because she was lighter y she did it what is the big deal? she didn’t say she do it because she love ooman, sigh ma tell yuh, further more, y the one being proposed to neva get penalized too?
Christianity is an HYPOCRITICAL RELIGION and persons who attend these Universities and Colleges under the name of Christianity MUST understand that once they go outside of their “MORALS” they shall see you as one that is beneath them. The Lord God who gave the LAWS never told anyone to discriminate against another because he/she is abominable. He told us that we ought to forsake EVIL. Christian lives by MORALS which is EVIL known as the Wrath of God. The LORD God is RIGHTEOUSNESS as the Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ who says BORN AGAIN let us to know “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS all these things shall be added unto you” and He told us that our Righteousness must be more than the Pharisees to enter within the Kingdom of Heaven. He told us that one who hunger and thirst for RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be filled. He let us to know that we shall be prosecuted for RIGHTEOUSNESS. But yet Christians want to think in their HYPOCRISY that they are speaking for God. When they are based off MORALS. This was depicting a DRAMA just as how Christians have their DANCES that claiming to be depicting the WORDS of Songs. It is time persons understand that God is a SPIRIT and that RELIGION is of MAN and it is better to WAIT and go to a College or University that is based off TRUTH than attend a CHRISTIAN RELIGION Institution that is based off HYPOCRISY. Hugs
So the title is “NCU Cheerleader allegedly suspended for depicting Homosexuality in routine” , “IN ROUTINE”, not alleged lesbian suspended, or suspension due to homosexual tendencies, or complete disregard for female dress code rules, eg. jewelry – tongue ring. So based on the title, this seems extremely blown out of proportion. Antony Demel make an excellent point, it really is just role play. So even though mi nuh go NCU, to the larger public it seems ridiculous. But then some will say as a student, she knew her school had ridiculous rules to abide by, hence she should have known better.
By the way, I could not really watch the full length of that, it was way too boring. I did not even see the “incident”. LOL. Way, way too boring. Thats how we are in Jamaica, make a big deal out of small things while religious institutions remain silent on issues such as the young man who was killed in Montego Bay under police care.
I cannot stand these overly religious institutions. It is important, however to really research the values and beliefs of any institution that you plan to join.
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.

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!
no
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 are in real life: just a play ! Now raise the issue of what Jamaica has become and how the homophobic background of the country is deeply fixed. I have been travelling all over the world and I’m so chocked looking at how Jamaicans think they should express their christian faith. I visited a girl catholic school in Italy where nobody bothered that only girls where there to embody the nativity scene, not even the bishop present that day . Some should listen to the speech of our Pope about understanding and tolerance more often. Once again, Jamaica is showing to the rest of the world its close-mindeness and archaic features. Come on, this is 21th century. All this issue is so ridiculous…
I cannot stand these overly religious institutions. It is important, however to really research the values and beliefs of any institution that you plan to join.
It can’t be she changed the routine on her own also it must have been a collective agreement. How a routine as such persons would know she specifically would need to be at the top and position her self? I would have a no care attitude to be frank going to that meeting because whats the big deal with a “role play” and i can imagine how they exploded on her alone no one to stand in solidarity for her. If she was caught in a compromise position on Campus knowing the rules and regulations it would have been warranted. My question when doing a drama piece, skit etc you are thought to take on the character and persona of that role? Thus the principle taught was used in doing the cheer leading routine.
Boring routine…..don’t see the point of it anyway!!! Thought it was to cheer-on the members of the house for the sports!!! This was a music video in the making? and sloppy at that! I agree there is more to the story…………….Its more than deviating from a sloppy routine……..If her ‘reported lifestyle/behaviour/deportment/whatever’ does not fit into the institutions values why did she apply to attend NUC? Give her back her tuition and make she go her way……They don’t have to accept pressure from non-conformist in a religious private institution……Or they restrict access to the public on religious grounds/rights……….lets see the Islamic’s set up a similar school…. open it to the public and see what happens!
boy our society gone to the dogs… where everything is scrutinized under sexuality issues… i guess we cant do cheeleading in jamaica…lol… the bottle throwing is amazing… where is the school board in that instance. the comments and boos from the spectators, you would think its on the street… the poor guy at the end… I would never recommend anyone to go study in an environment such as that. I bet they will never cheerlead again… SAD
To disqualify them not “her” would be good enough if a rule set was not adhere to. A suspension is not warranted. The girl did not made the cheer leading “team” is a group of person so all should have suffered the consequences. On the other hand I’m not seeing anything wrong its called role playing which we practice from as early as playing “dolly house”. This thing is blown way out of proportion and context if you ask me. There are more social issue to discuss.
Well this is my take on the whole thing (as a disclaimer I am very homophobic) but if you are going to be so specific as to suspend her because she was dressed as a male in cheer routine”in a christian school) then my question to you is why are you having a cheer competition in the first place. Everybody knows what cheer leading is all about so what’s the point.

clearly it was part of the routine and if any one had any scence they would see that,as to her sexual orientation it does not matter! as to the comments made in the back gorund as to the promoting of same sex activities, did the school or institution put up bill boards flyers or pamphlets ? I don’t thinks so. what jamaica should responed to they don’t ? for example england enslaved us for many many years and we should seek our re-embersment cause they should cancel our debt and pay us back and every ohter colony that they had so if they become broke so be it they deserve bankrupcy!
I am sure the School Administrators know what they are doing, plus these are the things that they were put in place for and they are doing their jobs. I totally agree with the steps they have taken -TOTALLY!
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!!
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.
Exactly this was a team effort the single suspended student is treated unfairly
thats bull suspending the squad fa foolishness
#its_just_cheerleading… #bull…
dem shuda expell her an suspend de res a dem
Lawd jesas….smh Proud…Seventh-Gay Adventist.
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
None was warranted
Let’s be fair folks.do not judge
this just sound like a miss judgement, sound liker rubbbish
Duppy know a who fi frighten ya
worst routine ever i would suspend the entire team waste of time
kmt i dont see the reason to suspend
nonsence
