According to an un-linkable report in the Journal;
a student athlete has been punished for
"being under investigation" of criminal misconduct.
Never mind that he has been convicted of nothing;
APS Spokesmodel, Rigo Chavez says;
"He's been suspended from the basketball team for conduct deemed detrimental to the team."
"Athletes have the responsibility to serve as role models, and because of this investigation, the school determined he was not fulfilling that role."
- Never mind that the President of the School Board,
Paula Maes, is accused of far worse and more sinister
criminal misconduct; and still sits on the school board. - Never mind that Maes is the senior most role model
in the entire APS, and has personally renounced the
student standard of conduct as her own. - Never mind that Maes is the president of the
Character Counts Leadership Council and has rejected
the Pillars of Character Counts as the standard of
conduct for adult role models in the APS. - Never mind that the entire leadership of the APS
has abdicated their responsibilities as role models. - Never mind that no senior administrator or board member has ever been held accountable for their failure as a role model for students.
Let's never mind everything that leadership of the APS
does wrong.
Let's never mind their corruption and incompetence and the their egregious lack of honest accountability to any standard of conduct at all.
Let's punish the kid for violating
the student standard of conduct which requires that;
students model and promote the Pillars of Character Counts.
and never mind the conduct and competence of
the leadership of the APS.
And we are role model just what, exactly?

We are the last damned stupid district in the country to publicly stae that athletes are role models. How archaeic is that? How unfair to lie that on a child's shoulders to bear!
Parents are role models! Principals, judges and police are supposed to be role models! Athletes?!
Why are the champions of the Math competitions role models? How come the toe-tapping-senator looking for sex in the airport bathroom isn't yelled at for not being a good "role model"?
APS spouts more ignorance than any other public office I've ever known in this country!
Get real! Get some brains! Teen athletes are not role models ignorant good-ole-boys!

In law enforcement departments with lots of officers, it is not unusual to see a several day break where the target of a complaint by a citizen is off duty but must be available to investigators for the internal investigation.
However, it is always an American's right to be presumed innocent of a CRIME prior to trial, but some PRIVILEGES can be revoked with no due process.
These are the details that Mephostopholes loves, and in the Realm of Privilege Mordred Spurious Lawfirm, Chunky D. Elephant, Invisible but EXPENSIVE Mascot, and "Chiva" Maes all hang with the hooved one and drink some brewskies while they kill Rights one whistleblower at a time, and Buy Big Houses with Money Better Spent on Education.
C'mon guys, take a page from Google and "Don't Be Evil"
