A few thoughts about big-city Texas high school basketball

1. Thirty years from now, we’re going to have a bunch of half-deaf 50-year-olds, given the volume of high school gym music.

2. Isn’t this, when allowed by school districts, if it violates standard definitions of noise pollution by decibel measurements, a form of child abuse?

3. Saggy baggies may be verboten inside classrooms, but don’t often get enforced inside gyms.

4. Neither does the state law forbidding smoking on school campuses get enforced in parking lots.
