A tree grows . . .discontent

A year ago, your child was involved in a conflict at their high school. The conflict was centered around who could sit under a tree on the school grounds. This conflict was allowed to fester because of inept school leadership and community lack of interest. The community is a small community – where people appear to get along reasonably well. The students at the school have not had any intervention or guidance for resolution regarding this conflict about the ‘tree’. The conflict continues to fester – and a fight breaks out on the playground. The fight is serious. One student received serious injuries. Your child is reportedly involved in the fight – and is charged with attempted murder. There are conflicting stories from the witnesses. Some say your child was not even in the area – but he is charged with attempted murder at a trial that many considered unjust. A higher court finds the charges unjust – and lowers the charges. There are citizens in the community who agree with the injustice of the original charges. However, the DA in this instance stands by his charges – even though a higher legal authority has reduced the charges. Many citizens in the country acknowledge the injustice that this local criminal system tried to enforce, and feel that your small town is not the only place where justice is not distributed equally. How would you feel?

I'm suprised to hear from you this week as your cats lost, who do you blame Claton County on? The education is there if the kids want it and the parents push it, but neither does anything, so who's to blame?

Gee I'm sorry, I thought when the points went on the scoreboard it meant we scored, I guess the refs forgot to consult with your son. Oh well, the Tigers will just have to suffer along at 3-0.
