Monson: The price of a ticket to a game does not buy a license to be ignorant. High school administrators are now driving that point home.

I don’t know Layton Christian High basketball coach Bobby Porter, never met the man. But I like him, like what he recently said about racism and vulgarism raising their ugly heads at high school basketball games in the state.

Learning is needed. Those heads cannot be raised without ignorant individuals lifting them up.

Have you ever wondered why some people think it’s OK to yell stupid things from the stands during a game that if they yelled at someone on the street would lead to a fistfight? At least on the street, the offended can nobly turn and walk away.
