Vance Jokingly Calls for Banning 'Six' and 'Seven' After Son's Church Outburst

His quip highlights a youth chant that institutions are struggling to contain.

Overview

  • On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance wrote on X that his 5-year-old chanted “six seven” during Mass, joking that the numbers warrant a “narrow exception” to the First Amendment.
  • Outlets noted the remark was tongue-in-cheek, and no policy action or legal proposal followed.
  • The trend traces to Skrilla’s 2025 track “Doot Doot (6 7)” and spread through viral clips linked to NBA guard LaMelo Ball, who is 6-foot-7.
  • Teachers and schools have tried to curb disruptions by banning the chant in class or assigning minor penalties.
  • In-N-Out Burger removed the number 67 from order displays after crowds of teens swarmed counters when that number was called.
