Fwd: Steps Must be Taken to End Acts of Hazing in High School Sports and Other Activities

Steps Must be Taken to End Acts of Hazing in
High School Sports and Other Activities
It is regrettable that, for the second straight year as high school sports have commenced, several horrific acts of hazing have occurred. In the month of August alone this year, we are aware of five highly publicized incidents across the country – one of which forced cancellation of a school's entire football season.

In addition to the extreme case of cancelling an entire season, one of the other cases last month involved a hospitalization and 21 players being suspended, while another suspended its football season during an investigation.

Unfortunately, incidents that have occurred the past two years are nothing new. It seems that dozens of acts similar to these are reported every year. Some of these acts may seem minor in nature, but many result in criminal charges being filed. No matter the severity, the "Why" question remains.
