It should have never came to the district laying out punishment; parents should have stepped up. And, if they had, his sentencing at court would be lighter as the juvenile court system considers those thingsI just can't get over the idea of a large number of adults getting together and deciding that protecting one student-athlete was worth jeopardizing the reputation of an entire district, putting dozens of other students-athletes in a difficult position, etc. Protecting this one kid has had a direct impact on dozens and dozens of other kids. I just don't get it.
