2011 in Review-More Football Scandals Surfacing-Wyoming Coach Resigns

December 28, 2011 by Tom Thayer in News, Political with 0 Comments

More scandals regarding football coaches are showing up after Penn States problems. A high school football coach, Pat Lynch in Wyoming has resigned after making his players fill out a ”Hurt Feelings Report” in which students were asked to select from various offensive options to describe why they were upset.  To see this offensive report, clink on the link;http://trib.com/lynch-s-survey-to-players/pdf_8f9f2292-253b-5952-b4ee-70d13411ea85.html

What makes this story even worse, is that Coach Pat Lynch is also the schools guidance counselor.  The story downhill more. He’s resigned his job as head coach after 13 successful years at Buffalo Wyoming High School team that went to the playoffs 12 years and won 2 state titles, but still will hold his position as school guidance counselor. Incredible, after seeing his “Hurt Feelings Report”,  I only wonder if sometimes schools would rather ‘look the other way’ if they have winning teams.  His ‘report’ goes beyond bullying. This person is now still counseling youth? And school systems locally are worried about our agency handing out condoms? 
I truly wonder wonder how people can look at themselves in the mirror.

  • Who's Positive: Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C., May 11, 2012 -- Who's Positive, a national HIV awareness organization, today announced the results of a year-long online survey measuring support for over-the counter (OTC) HIV testing. The organization will present these results at the upcoming U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) on May 15, 2012. Overall, the survey findings demonstrate support for rapid OTC testing - particularly from the HIV community - with approximately half of the respondents identified as people living with HIV/AIDS. The survey gathered responses from 1,569 participants, 74% of which said that they would support an OTC rapid, oral swab HIV test that could be purchased in a retail store, if approved by the FDA. Other key findings include: 66% of the respondents who identify as a HIV-positive consumer support an OTC HIV test. 80% of those aged to 30 support an OTC HIV test. A majority or nearly 52% of those who identified as a paid member of an HIV/AIDS organization support an OTC HIV test. 47% of those who identify as one who performs HIV testing support an HIV OTC test. “Our survey demonstrates widespread support for additional testing options, especially among younger generations and those who are already living with HIV,” said Tom Donohue, Founding Director of Who’s Positive. "Over-the-counter testing has the potential to break down barriers and empower people who have never been tested before to learn their HIV status and, if positive, find the care and support they need." About Who’s Positive. Who's Positive is committed to raising the awareness of HIV and its consequences. Our organization foregrounds the reality of living with HIV through the first-hand accounts of those coping with the disease. Who's Positive strives to remind the public that this is a virus with no cure. Through the stories of those living with HIV, Who's Positive hopes to reduce the transmission of HIV among teens and young adults - a population with one of the fastest growing infection rates. ### View Post
