June 5th, 2006 at 11:20 amShouldn’t participation in competitive sports in school be a voluntary process, rather than children being “assigned”? And if I am remembering correctly, due to lack of funding for extracurricular activities, such as sports, they require financial support by the parents of those participating. And shouldn’t ability be more important than what ethnic backround you have? This whole issue just makes no sense to me. Am I missing something?
