Why a Middle School Was Ordered to Tear Down Its Brand-New Baseball Bleachers

The U.S Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights has forced a school in Michigan to tear down a brand-new set of bleachers for its boys’ varsity baseball team because the new seating is nicer than the girls’ softball bleachers.

The raised seating deck for the boys’ baseball team, which was paid for with money raised by parents, was put in place because fans who’d come to watch games at Plymouth High School in Canton, Mich., were having a hard time seeing the game through the chain-link fence WJBK-TV reported.

The parents installed the new bleachers themselves and even added a new scoreboard to the field, the station reported.

But after an investigation by government officials, which was prompted by an anonymous complaint, the school was told it had to remove the new seating because it was “no longer equal” to the adjacent girls’ softball bleachers, which have yet to get a makeover of their own.

Further, government officials said, the new boys’ bleachers were not sufficiently handicap-accessible.

The school agreed to tear down the new bleachers after government officials issued a citation.

Thanks for alerting us to this specific example of Obama’s idiocy.

The “government officials” need to be told to go pee up a rope tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

Fixed it.

Seriously, they need to be identified and they and their families shunned.

Sure pick up a sword and charge that tank.

Beyond working to get things changed in a peaceful manner through the levers given to us by the Constitution including, but not limited to, Article V what exactly do you intend to do big talker? Take up arms and storm the nearest gay bar or attack the next school board meeting? Take out the SCOTUS? What exactly do you have in mind.

Yes, the Sons of Liberty conducted guerrilla actions. They attacked tax collectors and did millions of dollars in property crime. But that was certainly a different time and they had 3,000 miles between them and their oppressors. We have minutes to the nearest government jack booted thug dressed up as our protectors when what the local police and national guard are is a standing paramilitary more than willing to crack a couple ‘civilian’ skulls.

What do you propose?

It sure was a different time. If modern "Conservatives" had been around we would still be part of the British empire.

I'm not telling you what I have planned because I'm certain I would be banned from this forum.

I've got very little to loose at this point.

When I was younger, I played by "the rules" and worked hard to make something of myself.

It was taken away from me by the various forces destroying this civilization.

I don't give a damn anymore.
