Great job Clewiston High administration.  We can't have kids making music videos on their own time and expressing themselves.  It is a great idea to take away one of the most positive activities(high school football) a young man can participate in.  The 25 hours a week they were busy with football can now be on the streets. The incentive to keep your grades up and regular school attendance will not be there.  maybe the next time they will wave real guns and throw gang signs. Maybe we don't see their name on a recruiting profile but on an arrest log or maybe an obituary.  Young men need to be mentored, instructed, forgiven, and loved or we will lose them. Obviously Clewiston High cares zero when in comes to truly educating students.

We can complain all we like, but when someone else is writing the paychecks or providing the free education, we better be sensitive about how our actions outside work or school might reflect upon their image, especially if we have already been talked to about it.

I know someone who was fired from their job over something less egregious than a video like that.  Not saying I agree with the punishment, but poor judgment = consequences.  Anyone remember the 7th floor crew music video at UM?

    • The biggest problem at public schools right now is 2 things. One, they are hiring radicals who are more interested in indoctrinating kids with extreme ideologies rather teaching them basic fundamental skills to become well rounded adults. And 2, they are not getting rid of the worst students who take from the kids who want to learn. If kids skip school they should be expelled. Drugs. Expelled. Fights. Expelled. They can stay home and do E-learning. But these public schools keep, and sometimes cover up crimes and poor behavior. Get rid of the kids who don’t want to learn. You gotta tighten the ship 
    • Better to have some kids thrive, then none. Every kid who goes to a private school and thrives is a net benefit to society. Plus your scenario assumes that the private schools don’t already have great teachers taking up all spots available 
    • I’m glad those recruiting rules don’t apply to Broward & Dade county…….
    • Or the private schools will use their combination of private money and public money (i.e., vouchers) to hire away the best teachers, leaving the rest at the public schools to teach those who don't have the resources -- even with the vouchers -- to send their kids to private schools.  Of course, if this happens, there might be a few folks who will brag that it all worked out the way it was planned.  
    • Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.
