OSG High: Haiku Gets FB Player Kicked Off Team, And Then, Not...

((HT: WJW-TV))

Nick Andre was a starting DE for his high school for Rittman (OH) High and his team was in the end of a 1-7 season...

He was asked to write a poem on something in class and Andre took on the ideas of the cliques of his team and its problems. After the peom was read aloud in class the administration felt that they had decided that Andre "Wrote a mean and disrespectful poem about another student and our athletic director/head coach." The principal classified the poem as “hazing, harassment.”

As a result, Andre was suspended for four days and everyone started screaming from the high heavens that the school was wrong in what they did...

Here's the explanation...


Strangely enough, after everyone started taking the school to task for violating Andre's First Amendment rights of free speech, the superintendent of the Rittman School District says the suspension has been overturned, and the junior defensive end has been reinstated to the football team.

Shocking, I know...
