Dr. Alan Bean is a very articulate former Methodist minister. He is the founder and executive director of Friends for Justice, a nonprofit that works to uphold due process for all Americans.
He has some interesting thoughts regarding the TCU case, including,
"Kids who make dumb decisions should forfeit their right to play football. But we don’t need to criminalize their behavior. These kids aren’t drug dealers in any meaningful sense."
"Ask any college student about the ubiquity of pot use on campus and you will hear the same story. The stuff is everywhere. Demand creates supply. If enough people want a product, legal or illegal, somebody is going to supply it. If college students are smoking pot, chances are they are buying it from other students."
Very interesting, and I believe accurate, read.
