  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Personally, I think US schools (and administrators) are in desperate need of a PC enema.

Of course it's political correctness run amok, but you don't bend the rules to give some jock a pass.

Why impose the severest penalty allowed. Kid fessed up when asked. I agree there should be consequences for rule breaking however I would expect the authorities to exercise some common sense.

We all chewed leaf tobacco in high school when playing baseball and football not one word was said. Our baseball coach had the biggest wad of all.

You have got to be kidding me!!!

You know, boys will be boys....Can anyone here think of something that they did in high school that was 10 times worse than this, and got away with it!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet we all can.
