Punished For Running In A Pro-Life Charity Race
(Life News) 15-year-old James Vignola, a freshman at Helias Catholic High School
in Jefferson City, ran nearly seven miles in LIFE Runners A-Cross the Country
Pro-Life Relay. For his trouble the Missouri High School Activities Association
(MSHSAA) took away his eligibility to participate in high school sports for a
year.

His offense? Participating in what the MSHSAS considers “non-school competition”
during the track season at Helias. What does The National LIFE Runners team do? “[P]rays, runs, raises money for pregnancy help centers and builds awareness on the issue of abortion,” according to reporter Olivia Ingle. Which makes the decision so odd. |

It never ceases to stun me how nutty America has become since liberals have successfully permeated our societal-thinking. Just when you think their (liberal) thinking can't get any nuttier... it does! Bravo to the young teen for standing up and doing what is right, dispite the nutty liberal rulemakers. A clear case of "common sense" vs. "nonsense"!
ReplyDeleteThis insanity exists at the college level, courtesy of the NCAA. Athletes cannot participate in events or practices other than those scheduled. I believe there is an exception if the student athlete is participating in international or Olympic competition. Personally, I'd say, if you want to practice on your own, or compete in other than scheduled intercollegiate competitions, go for it. Apparently the nannies at the NCAA feel this is somehow unfair. What ever happened to individualism?
ReplyDeleteI agree. What is so dang awful to let a school athlete participate in a charity run, on his own time? I would think it would be a good role model to be a good citizen... and the schools should allow it. Actually, it's none of the schools' business... charity on your own time.
