Highland Park basketball team trip to Arizona scrapped - Chicago Breaking News
"Reveling in its first conference championship in 26 years, the Highland Park High School girls varsity basketball team has been selling cookies for months to raise funds for a tournament in Arizona.
But those hoop dreams were dashed when players learned they couldn't go because of that state's new crackdown on illegal immigrants.
Safety concerns partly fueled the decision, but the trip also 'would not be aligned with our beliefs and values,' said District 113 Assistant Superintendent Suzan Hebson.
That explanation, though, smacks of political protest to parents upset by the decision."
Lot's of hopey and changey here...right?

I just emailed the administrator telling him their political activism should not be forced on students and families. I also explained to these idiots that the latest poll says over 70% of americans agree with Arizona law. The email address is as follows: www.jwrigley@ihsa.org Let's flood them with emails!
