Letter: No tolerance for racism in high school sports

Apparently the UHSAA has a problem in confronting racist behavior on the part of high school basketball fans and in some cases players and coaches. These games are part of an overall curriculum at so-called educational institutions, and not some open forum where the rights of individuals to speak their minds on social issues have to be protected under some twisted definition of the exercise of free speech.

There is a simple solution available to the UHSAA. First, the UHSAA needs to establish a code of responsibility that holds each school accountable for the behavior of fans, players and coaches.
