The braintrust running Walkersville High School (in Frederick County, MD) have lost their damn minds. They fired their girls’ softball coach after he hosted a team party where alcohol was served…to the parents?
It was a cookout around Brad Young’s backyard swimming pool last month celebrating the end of a winning season. “And one parent brought some beers to the party. A couple of people had those– probably no more than five or six,” said Young, for the record. “No kid was uncomfortable. No kid had access to it. No kid drank. No parent got more than probably one or two beers. I did not drink."
Yet of course, some dipshit parent who had a bad night with beer when they were a teen called the school board and that was it – Young was banned from the team that he had coached for the last five years, and whose dugouts he refurbished out of his own pocket. A hearing has been scheduled in two weeks to determine whether or not the school’s overreacted over a beverage that over a third of the world’s population legally consumes at the high school age. You can call the school and get your two cents in that way. Because people in education, if they can't be the voice of reason, should have to hear it.
