[quote=Anonymous]Leave the guy alone. He is involved in his son's life which is commendable. He is only saying that he is proud of his son and that his son is having a positive experience at Landon.  Considering the most recent at the school it is reasonable that a father would want to share their family's positive experiences at Landon.

So my presumption is that the OP is a good man and his son is a good kid who happens to excell at soccer. It's great that this freshman has the guts to play this very physical sport with older and presumably stronger boys, it's great that he was a real team player, but what was lacking in the original posting was the courage to say that what the lacrosse team did was wrong!

This man's son is successful at Landon and he's pleased to share that fact with the world, but he doesn't have the guts to rock the boat and to call out the lacrosse team for its dehumanizing behaviors towards the members of the opposing team.

The reason Landon as a school has engaged in so many dehumanizing events is because the good people at Landon have accepted it. This man is actually the quintessential Landon father. As long as his kid is doing alright and he's being left along, he really doesn't give a damn what happens to anyone else.   Until the good people at Landon stop being either afraid of being "next" or just being apathetic, the school can never change. [/quote]
