I have listened to this debate on the electronic media and read comments in the print media. I have stayed out of it until now . The intensity of the arguments of those who would perpetrate a dishonest proposition however has forced me to say my piece albeit briefly. I attended St. George's College at a time when the day to day operations of the school were manned by Jesuit Priests. To those priests academic, spiritual, social and cultural development of the school boy was paramount. there are many recognizable name brand athletes who were not permitted to continue at St. Georges because they lacked the capacity for intellectual development.(some of the names would shock many).
How can we inculcate in the minds of our youngsters that it is enough to be able to kick a football in the goal, run a good leg on a relay team or be a good goal defence player to get privileged favours this is dangerous.
It is for the above and much more that I support the principles espoused by Dr. Lascelve "Muggy" Graham.
