I knew from the moment, I researched the subject of "pay-to-play" I was in for fight. Two years ago, I had this conversation with my dad on eliminating sports from high schools entirely, and I fought against his argument. Now, I agree with his stance. Maybe it's time to make students and parents "pay-to-play" sports or just eliminate them. Times are tough, and taxpayers can't even support students' rights to a basic education. Now, taxpayers are suppose to pay for an education that's been maimed (cutting industrial arts, shop class, home economics, band, drama is ridiculous) but also pay for high school football teams traveling to Sacramento, baseball teams trips to Santa Barbara and volleyball teams trips to Las Vegas. Seems my recent column, "It's time for KHSD students to 'pay-to-play'" struck a nerve with folks in Bakersfield. Good. That's what I wanted. We'll have a story on how school districts in other states are utilizing the system in coming...
