{rant on} As someone who has taught at Christian Schools and coached at Christian Schools for 15 years I take issue with some of the disparaging comments. I have attended/coached/officiated hundreds of games at Christian Schools. Only one time do I ever remember anything being remotely out of hand. I am curious though, do people think that because it happens at a Christian School that makes it any more wrong? Because a person is a Christian does not mean they have any more control of their emotions. Yes, we can get into a whole spiritual discussion here, but let's just say that Christians are not supernatural - they are human and we all know that sports brings out everyone's worst. The fact that you say "Well, it was at a CS so what do you expect" does bother me. I schedule officials for one of the local CS's here and my guys beg to go there because there's never a problem.
*sigh* OK, I feel somewhat better now. Thanks for listening. {rant off}
