The more kids we have playing sports and participating in clubs, the less crime we have around the city.


This was the same reasoning given by federal Judge William Wayne Justice in the 1970s (upheld by USSC in 80s), about illegals attending school on the taxpayer dime.

(I notice you're from Tyler, that's where this case originated.)

That didn't work out so well. Lots of money spent, dropouts deluxe and crime through the roof.

ETA: And shittier schools!

If there's one thing the EBRP school board is good at, it's not preparing it's students for college or the future.

Bravo EBR. Let's show what it means to have these idiots feel what it's like to be unemployed in the long run. This thread did make me chuckle some. The stupidity on the EBR school board.

Being around positive influences after class instead of standing around on a street corner is a positive for everybody.


I have a club. It is called the pick up trash around town club. Have less than a 1.5 and you are an automatic member.
