Now, apparently, mediocrity is too high a hurdle for high school athletes to clear, to stay on the team....Now it seems "pathetic" may well be the criteria to qualify for athletics in Minneapolis gubmint schools.

Minneapolis high schools may loosen their academic standards for competing in athletics and other inter-scholastic competitions.
The district officially has required a student to average at least a C in the previous quarter, but in practice has allowed students with a cumulative C average for their high school careers to compete.
Now a proposal before the school board would allow students who make at least a .1 improvement in their grade-point average in the previous term to compete, even if they are below a C or 2.0 average. The board will discuss the proposal Tuesday evening and is scheduled to vote on it on Dec. 18.
