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.

I agree, if you break the rules you should pay for it, however the ruling was way too harsh.

when i was in high school we had several players out for games for drinking, smoking and chewing. i agree that there should be punishment but at my school if you confess the penatly is cut in half. thats ruff for the kid

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.
