ANOTHER CLINTON?

I know we're all sick of hearing about Keanon Ferguson, but come on. The
issue is still making front page news in our paper. Let's take a good look
at this situation: Ferguson not only had a party at his house freshman year
where somebody almost died of alcohol poisoning, but was later caught with
drugs on campus. And then his father defends him, gets him reinstated as
president.

What does that say? It's OK now to get caught with drugs on campus, because
the school board can only suspend you for five days. No. That's not right.
The school board holds the right to punish as they seem fit.

This reminds me of a situation where another president was caught having a
scandal, but then survived and stayed in office, then got elected for
another term. In my opinion, Keanon Ferguson is just another Bill Clinton
in the making.

And what kind of message is this sending to younger kids already using
drugs? Oh, he got away with it, so why can't I? It's just wrong, and it
worries me that even with the knowledge that Keanon is using drugs, there
was still a high enough majority of students at the high school to vote him
back in. Come on, grow up.
