Indianapolis parents fight loss of football teams

INDIANAPOLIS — Protesters have been unable to change the decision to stop fielding football teams at three Indianapolis high schools.

More than a dozen people asked the Indianapolis Public Schools board Tuesday night to stop the district superintendent from canceling football at Manual, Marshall and Washington high schools.

Superintendent Eugene White says those schools had too few students choosing to play, resulting in teams that weren't competitive.

Parent Loren Sprowl said the decision sends a bad message and will hurt morale among students at the schools.

White said the three schools had been given extra resources over the last five years to improve turnout for football.

Anyone want to take a stab at giving us:

a) the facts which should grab our attention here?

b) the unspoken things those facts tell us?

(This is a good exercise since so many of Indiana's schools/school districts are in trouble.)

Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.  ;)

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S. I. Hayakawa
