I thought DC residents were the most liberal in the country.

Our band teacher had a party for parents. My oldest asked if she could go and was told no as there would be alcohol served.

If they're going to fire him, he might as well earn it.

Sounds like it's time to start sexing up the girls on his former team. (And give them beer while he's at it.)shiat like this is why people hate school administrators.

This is not DC, it's Frederick County, Maryland. It's still a very rural and conservative place. According to Wiki: Frederick County has not voted for a Democrat for president since 1964 when it voted for Lyndon B. Johnson. In 2004 George W. Bush defeated John Kerry 59-39%. In 2008 John McCain defeated Barack Obama 49.62%-48.58% or a margin of 1157 votes

Probably some benchwarmer or his parents looking for a little payback.

FTFM.

Ditto.

"Coach could have been responsible to a certain degree-- however the parents, I'll make the parents more responsible than anything else for knowing they were going to an activity related to the sports, school-and they still brought the beer. So the example was not set properly by the parents," said Yolany Osorio, a Walkersville parent.

You go get those parents! How dare they do something completely legal and ok in front of children! Scoundrels!

I_Love_Verdi: yes, let us never allow a single one of our precious angels to witness adults enjoying alcohol responsibly and in moderation. that will certainly help our nation's alcohol abuse issues.

That is actually the crux of a national ad campaign they got going on now: don't let your kids see you enjoying a drink. They might get the wrong idea and drink, themselves.

*facepalm*

Thankfully alcohol is illegal until you're 21, so no HS kids or young college-age kids drink at all. It's ILLEGAL... how could they drink? Again, it's against the law, so it doesn't happen.

I bet they hate dancing, too.

I think we know who called the school board

Funny, doesn't sound like a muslim.

So? Not saying I agree with the firing, but how does this make the news?

I stand corrected.
Been to the DC area once...hated it.

"The incident in question took place at what is considered an official team function."

You know sure as shiat if something actually bad happened like a kid or parent fell in the pool and died or something, the school board would not cosider it an 'official team function.'

Tell me again how this NeoPuritanism is good for our freedoms again?

What he said. If it helps, residents of that area are often referred to as 'Frednecks'.

To be fair, I hear that used more for the residents of the city of Frederick than for the county that houses said city, but I suppose that is a matter of semantics.
