Having a child at Lely, and another that may go to Lely, I feel the need to comment on this. I also feel that the parent needs to realize that a lighter is used and needed only for a few things. Why would your son have a lighter? the coaches obvious knew why! The coach was correct. However, would the same discipline been given to the black student-athletes at Lely? I have seen the difference already in sports and this applies to Lely and before Lely, I think that the decision of the coaches were correct but the decisions of fairness need to be across the board and not changed because of black or white skin color! Fairness and discipline everyone the same.
