Boxing Tournament Sets Low Bar For Students

The  Executive Education Academy Charter School is hosting a boxing fund raiser next month... It's tone deaf on every front....

The first version of the promotion said come watch your favorite celebrity get punched in the face.  I'm actually a boxing fan, and I certainly don't think that boxers are any less intelligent or accomplished than anybody else. But, never the less, I hope that our school taxes, being diverted to charter schools, find more academic goal models for their students.  Furthermore, schools should not be staging any public event during the virus crisis.  I suppose they don't think that any of their students  aspire to a career in public health or medicine.

Because many local celebrities are involved in this promotion,  this post, like many other of my posts over the years, will offend more than a few people.  As usual, I could care less. I was offended last week when three young men shot a fourth in the head, to steal his gun. I'm offended by how low the community allows the bar to be set for our students.
