APS school board adopts codes of conduct for athletic events

The board has unanimously approved new codes of conduct
for students, parents, and spectators at APS athletic events.

The new code offers no improvement over the old code;
the student standard of conduct, and adults obligations to be
role models of those standards.

If the leadership of the APS had enforced the old standards,
there would be no need for the new standards.

The only need for a new code stems from a need to divert
attention from the existing standards of conduct which also
include the obligation to be honest.

The leadership of the APS does not want to draw any extra
attention to "honesty" because it is diametrically opposite to
their current position which is;

never provide any opportunity for stakeholders to ask
legitimate questions, and then expect candid, honest, and
forthright responses.

Winston Brooks and the leadership of the APS have no interest
what so ever in being really honest with stakeholders,
hence their need to rewrite codes of conduct in order to
de-emphasize honesty in communications.

The new codes also at least one rule that no one has any
intention of enforcing; the requirement for participants to;
"... show appreciation for an outstanding play by either team ...",
and "... applaud a good effort ...".

No one is going to climb up into the bleachers and demand that
spectators root for the other team.

The board does not understand the harm done by writing rules
which are then not enforced.

They don't understand, because they routinely ignore the rules
themselves, so it doesn't seem even the least out of place.
