District officials are straddling the fence on this one... Zero tolerance is just that, ZERO tolerance. While I agree with the premise that teaching these kids to say "NO" to drugs and alcohol is a priority, the reality is that they were driven to and from the restaurant by a bus driver, (emphasizing responsible designated driver actions) and had one beer each.
TRUE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS it seems, is to get $H*% faced and drive your boat into a rock embankment on Flathead Lake, seriously injuring one of the boat occupants. As I recall, NEITHER Rehberg, nor Barkus lost their high paying jobs over this little mishap,...And their lawyers are still making out like bandits, defending their night of FUN, but the under compensated (volunteer) coaches can get "fired" for having a beer with a meal, celebrating their players achievements.
This children, is the world you will inherit. Confused by the mixed signals???? Yeah, me too.
