[Vision2020] AND THE BEAT GOES ON!

"The combative sports (boxing, judo, karate, wrestling, etc.) result in far
fewer injury's than football, rock climbing, skate boarding, mountain biking
and skiing at the amateur level. Even cheer leading results in more
emergency room visits! Would you have every "sport" that is potentially
dangerous be eliminated from the extracurricular activities list?"

 

This may very well be true, g, among professionals and/or in a venue
specifically designed for that sport with the requisite safety measures
established and maintained, not at a school lacking the appropriate
facilities and void of the aforementioned safety measures.

 

In each of the "organized" activities you mention (boxing, judo, karate,
wrestling, football, rock climbing, skate boarding, mountain biking, skiing,
etc.), there are certain requirements (health, insurance, waivers, etc.
etc.) that MUST be accomplished prior to any competitor engaging in their
sport.  Based on a Viz discussion, concerning  the Logos School "smokers"
(as they are called) a while back, it was painfully evident that NONE of
these requirements was even considered, much less accomplished.

students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."
