August 30, 200719 yr If the bolded part is the way the supporters of Proposal 2 feel, can we once and for all then stop the thus hypocritical statements that participation in athletics is a very important part of the educational process? Either its a very important part (and thus taking away a year of participation in games is a very big thing), or its not a very big thing and all the comments about athletics being important is just a bunch of trash. Me, I believe that participation in athletics is very important in the educational process; not something we should take away willy nilly. The next time I hear someone tell me athletics is a privilege, not a right, I'm going to puke. If getting a public education is a right, and participation in athletics is a very important part of that education, then why isn't the ability to participate in athletics a right? Any one? Bueller? Bueller? Any one? With that said then all sports should have no cut policy. Because when you cut a kid you are taking away their right to an education. I feel Prop 2 was stupid and I am glad it was voted down but I believe Participation in Interscholastic athletics is a privledge.
