Students' signs cross the line
By Sandi Dolbee
February 9th, 2008
Christopher Schuck, head of La Jolla Country Day School, is quiet as he looks at photographs of placards held up by his students at last week's girls basketball game against their cross-town rival.
He had just finished defending a sign, “No 1 likes U,” that ran on the cover of Tuesday's Union-Tribune sports section, saying it wasn't aimed at anyone in particular – including the young woman who transferred from Country Day to The Bishop's School, another elite private prep academy in La Jolla. But other signs specifically name two players on the opposing team. One includes a picture defaced with a mustache. The other has a word play that is sexually derogatory.
“Yes,” Schuck concedes, “there's no question these signs cross the line.”
So now what?
