So they are exploring a contactless protest against the TSSAA.  I understand there are some things many of us dislike about the T$$AA, but somebody has to make tough decisions and I’m glad it’s not entirely left up to the school system.

I guess they would rather just have a city or county championship and pat each other on the back. Freaking sad

Transfer ruling didnt go their way, then they claimed racism on other unrelated matters it looks like.

#Let them go.

Wrote Ray: "As the leader of the state’s largest school district, I have grown increasingly concerned by the TSSAA’s inattention to equity and the impact of antiquated rules and regulations that penalize our students, particularly students of color from disadvantaged homes and neighborhoods."

I've seen many kids from disadvantaged homes in my town as well, didnt need to blame TSSAA for it.

If the TSSAA were to cater to their demands then the whole system would collapse. Could you imagine the recruiting that some public schools would do. It would be total chaos. Them basically calling the TSSAA racist is a joke. The TSSAA may be many things but it's not racist.

I agree, honestly I've never had more confidence in the TSSAA than I have this year. They did their part, the rest is up to us as school systems, communities, families, and even the kids. Everyone can contribute and you can contribute without blaming someone else.

They need to only look in the mirror as to why their communities are in disarray & quit blaming others for their failures
