Misguided Chicago North Suburban Highland Park High Loons scrap team trip to Arizona

What misguided idiots these people are a couple townships over from here, where they are far more concerned about their "High Society" image than they are about their students,  you can bet.

And furthermore, we now have yet another reason as if we already don't have enough, the first thing that needs to be done immediately after November is indeed  the second thing on the "List of things Americans need to do" and that is to "dismantle teachers unions starting yesterday, and now".


These people couldn't get jobs anywhere but the educational system as the old saying goes "those who can, do, and those who cannot "teach" ". An industry that's  long been hijacked from the citizenry at large who fronts the bills for the now outrageous groups which are run and act more like Soviet Union aged Indoctrination Mills than anything, as our terribly dumbed down society can attest.

So, this school takes my tax dollars and now they're going to meet me and ten thousand other local citizens enraged by this moronic decision they made and when we get done these girls will be going to Arizona you can bet Obama's skinny Kenyan backside..

Reveling in its first conference championship in 26 years, the Highland Park High School girls varsity basketball team has been selling cookies for months to raise funds for a tournament in Arizona. But those hoop dreams were dashed when players learned they couldn't go because of that state's new crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Safety concerns partly fueled the decision, but the trip also "would not be aligned with our beliefs and values," said District 113 Assistant Superintendent Suzan Hebson. That explanation, though, smacks of political protest to parents upset by the decision.

The news, which was broken to the team Monday by coach Jolie Bechtel, comes as critics of Arizona's controversial law call on professional athletes and others to boycott the state.

Last month a New York congressman asked Major League Baseball to pull next year's All-Star Game from Phoenix, and protesters recently picketed Wrigley Field when the Arizona Diamondbacks played the Cubs.

But tossing a high school team into the heated debate has left parents and players baffled and angry.

"Why are we mixing politics and a basketball tournament?" said Michael Evans, whose daughter Lauren is a junior on the team. "It's outrageous that they're doing this under the guise of safety."

Lauren Evans said she thought the concern was probably that one of the players could get stopped and questioned.

"It shouldn't be a problem," she said. "I don't think it makes much sense. We shouldn't be a threat. We just want to play basketball."   continued here

Administrative Imbeciles, as with decision making from the ADULTS in that place I'd rather trust the children to run the place better.

The people involved in this decision should be fired but won't and once again we owe that to the Unions so it's time to bust their asses as they're far far too powerful and are ruining the nation right at it's core.
