So by that reckoning, if a school has an exceptional athletic program but a crap educational one, the children must be “locked into” the latter in order to participate in the former, otherwise they’re denied despite the fact that their parents are PAYING for it ?

Their loyalty need only extend to the team that they’re playing on, not including to the mediocrity of the educational facilities. Period. Only if it were demonstrable they were attempting to undermine the team (in which case, why would they waste their time ?) would your argument have the most remote validity.

Apparently for Hg, school is like cable television. If you want to watch ESPN, you have to subscribe to Home & Garden TV or Oxygen and all the other garbage too.

And you have to LUV it.

Hg, your posts have exceeded my maximum daily allowance of stupid. But keep it up, maybe I'll check them out later.

Oh, and BTW, my homeschool daughter can out shoot, out fight, out fish, out think any public school crybaby who needs a union-approved teacher to hold his hand through his lessons. She carries a pocketknife to her classes every day, says the pledge of allegiance, and prays in class. She understands economic theory, the fall of the Byzantine empire, and can recite the bill of rights. Plus she is going to be on a public school sports team this year, just to piss you off.

You obviously don’t get it.

Paid for or not, one cannot in good conscience take part
in activities put on by entities one objects to.

It is hipocracy.

If you diss the school, you diss the athletic department.

You don’t get to pick and choose.
