  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The parents of a Texas high school football player who was murdered at a track meet last month are pleading with school officials to reconsider their decision to allow their son’s alleged killer to graduate with his class.

Karmelo Anthony, of Frisco, is charged with murder in connection with the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf during an April 2 track meet at Frisco Memorial High School. Days after the stabbing, Anthony was released from jail after a Collin County judge lowered his bond from $1 million to $250,000. Anthony is currently under house arrest.

On Wednesday, Dallas-based advocacy group Next Generation Action Network (NGAN) announced that while Anthony will not participate in graduation activities at Centennial High School, he “will graduate and receive his high school diploma.”

I don't know how they can expect the school not to process the paperwork.

Graduation from high school and commission of a crime are two separate questions. If the student has completed all the school's requirements for graduation, then he gets his high school diploma. If the student has also committed a crime, that's for a jury to decide, followed by whatever penalties the law prescribes.

Yeah, even convicts in prison are graduated from school.

I agree. How incredibly sad, regardless.
