I don't think it is right for a group using the name of a High School to have a Wine Tasting, and I question whether this is permissible under MCPS policy. If it is, maybe it is time for the policy to be reviewed.
Give me a break. No one cares what you think. If adults want to have a wine tasting let them do it. Its not like kids will be attending.
ReplyDeleteAre you naive enough to think that one teenager will start drinking because he sees that there will be a wine tasting?

ReplyDeleteActually students do attend these functions. They are the entertainment. Just like they were the entertainment at the farewell party for Superintendent Weast where ALCOHOL was served. The students get to entertain the adults and watch them consume alcohol. Events connected with MCPS are setting the example for our youth.
I think students also were the entertainment for the Walter Johnson Ed Foundation gala.
ReplyDeleteDid you miss the recent news about the parents, students, and reporter recently? Where the parents and kids hassled the police and the reporter over alcohol parties for kids?
I'm just one person that thinks its not a good idea, and wondering if it conforms to policy (and good sense).
Give me a break.
ReplyDeleteFollowing this logic, let's outlaw wine at all events supporting Children's Hospital and all desserts at fundraising events supporting American Heart Association.
There are so many other very important issues on which to focus.
Actually the American Heart Association does want healthy foods at their fundraisers. They want to set a good example.
