^ Nah, just the ones who support Carl Marks as Hillary's veep..

 

:lol2: I'm guessing you don't mean this guy:

 

In 1925, a young entrepreneur named Carl Marks started a foreign securities exchange business in the heart of New York City. Today, Carl Marks & Co. is one of the investment community’s most experienced merchant banking firms, operating in principal investing and advisory services. Throughout its history, Carl Marks has created value through clear thinking, creative advice and adept execution of plans, all built on a solid foundation of uncompromised integrity that has endured over time.

 

but rather this fellow:

Title IX: sacrificing economic responsibility for political correctness.

 

Safe to say some of the women who learned teamwork and toughness through this waste of money is helping carry our nation today and will be in the future considering the amount of men going after college degrees.

Can you definitively rule out the notion that toughness and team work are learned only through sports? If not, and I am assuming you cannot rule this out, then it becomes obvious that there are other methods outside of sports that teach these life lessons. I would venture to say, just guessing, that there are more people in leadership roles in the united states that did not play sports, than did. There are numerous methods for kids to learn these life lessons. Sports are great, and I am grateful for everything that I was able to take away from playing football, but it is silly to think that football was the only or primary teacher of life lessons. Sports are a luxury, not a right, at least thats the way it should be.

 

If school districts have the money to support equal sports teams, then great this isn't a problem. However, when you begin to make spending cuts, and you have to cut teachers which in-turn increases class size and takes away from the general student population, it just seems silly to continue to spend money on a program that is unable to sustain itself.

 

Heres a life lesson kids these days should learn: you don't get anything just because you are a certain race, gender, nationality. Sometimes the world is unfair. You're not going to get everything you want, especially when the thing you want is a luxury. When cuts are being made, it is only logical that the thing that effects the fewest people gets cut first.

And FWIW, if there were cuts being made and the roles were switched and the boys program was consistently losing money, I would fully support getting it off the payroll as well.

Remove all MS and HS sports from the schools, this will save millions.

 

Turn all MS and HS sports into club sports teams. The khsaa can be done away with and replaced by a private entity.

 

This takes away all PC correctness and financial burden imposed on school systems.

 

Each current region (16 total) will have 1 sports team for each boys and girls teams currently being played.

 

There it's solved now.

Sounds like you have it all figured out.

 

Just curious, but why do high schools have sports and extra-curricular activities?

The sports that cant support themselves should have season cut and maybe drop.

 

Some sports that cant or usually dont pay for themselves are soccer, volleyball, track, tennis,

This being due to high cost of travel and referees and low turnout for games

You must not have daughters that play sports .

I actually do have. It wouldnt hurt my feelings if they limited the number of their games. Would sure save me money.

 

Its not Title IX, seems as if its just at girls sports, I said do it to boys too.

I would assume that extra-curriculars exist to provide a different media for students to interact and grow. However, it is important to realize that these are "extra" and providing them is not the main directive of the school system. They are luxuries, not necessities, and in the event that a school budget can not sustain their existence, they shouldn't be bound by law to do so.

Here is a life lesson for you - maybe you should find out why those activities exist before you shoot off at the mouth.

 

Brian Robinson would be an excellent person to start. :banana:
