So Johnny tell the class what your dad does.
Teacher he is very important and sniffs bedroom door cracks.
There's something seriously wrong with a school that relies on police blotters and public ridicule to handle adolescent indiscretion. Why not just bring back a punishment yoke?[/QUOTE]
I haven't seen anything about the school making a judgment. Has the school done that? that would be newsworthy. Can you site a source?
I haven't made any judgments. I have said let the legal system play it out, and that is what I have heard SF say. So, it seems your statements may be judging the school pretty harshly by the same token by which you criticize the school for "judging" the athlete.
The school, I believe has published rules for behavior on its property, similar to what a landlord-tenant contract would accomplish. If you live in someone else's property and violate the contract, the landlord takes the leasee to court and gets them evicted. As someone here has stated, it's not rocket science, or life and death, for that matter. If it's good for other students, then it's good for athletes.
The RA was doing the job he was contracted to do. When I was a student in the dorms, I had to abide by the contract or be evicted, also. It's just NOT that hard to do.
When I was a student some students were caught drinking booze in the dorms and were evicted, and in the end, they had no case to keep themselves in the dorms. It seems to me, an athletic scholarship is just another form of contract. Let it play out and let the chips fall where they may.
