Why a Middle School Was Ordered to Tear Down Its Brand-New Baseball Bleachers
theblaze.com march 28, 2014 | becket adams


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.

"Government officials"? And they issued a "citation"? I'd like to know just who the f**k these "officials" were & what kind of f**king citation they issued, and under just who's authority. If the parents here built bleachers with their own sweat & funds, I don't think it would get torn down anytime soon.

anonymous complaint

Why is it that the person does not have to put their name on the complaint so the kids and their parents know exactly who the creep was that lodged the complaint? At the very least there should have been a school board meeting where the person that was complaining could present his/her side and the Parents could answer to the complaint.

Or was it the government official that just saw the bleachers and took offence and handed them a citation because they could. :x
