California school cracks down on 'prom draft'

[The Straight Story]

130. Interesting. Seems like someone couldn't discuss the issue and used an alert instead

We say we trust kids to make big decisions and support them and their ability to do so, and then same people suddenly say 'but they can't make smart decisions, they aren't adults!'

All I did was point to the fact that we do let them make adult decisions and support them in such and gave two examples of that. Seemed factual, not emotional or attacking. These same kids made a choice here that they thought relevant in a fun way to their prom and is not dissimilar to real world ideas (football/basketball/etc drafts).

Also mentioned I didn't like the whole 'draft' idea myself. My focus was on judging the teens in a broad brush manner. Teens do a lot of things we would consider kind of dumb (this draft being one of them).

Would that people would spend as much time discussing the kidnap Nigerian girls as they did their fellow posters on Du not being as outraged as they are on a topic.

Interesting they went to the trouble to look at other posts of mine and list them, a sort of back door to attacking an argument they had no other way to attack.
