Re: Former Bishop Estate trustee busted
One can't make the assumption that those St. Louis student-athletes were "privileged" and born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Because that school offers athletic scholarships, you do have boys whose families come from a lower socio-economic level. Many of them do live in public housing. They can't afford to pay the tuition, but their skills in football get them in.
Do those boys appreciate the opportunity of going to St. Louis and display school pride? I'm sure many of them do. But some of them (like those egg-throwing vandals) don't care. In fact, I know a couple of boys from Palolo Housing who got expelled from St. Louis. (One of them for fighting. Another for stealing from a teacher.) Neither of them seemed to care about a whit about throwing away a private school education.
It will be interesting to see what kind of disciplinary measures the St. Louis administration hands down. Remember, this was a school that was pretty lenient to the football players and coaches involved in a Las Vegas trip that went awry ten years ago.
