Another forum dealt with this issue, as I am sure others have. The one I am thinking of is Topic: What to do if your advance kid is in a new program. My son's school, Derby has already wrestled at least 1 tournament and possibly 2, that would have disqualified him from USJOC and Tulsa Nationals plus, Liberty, The Great Lakes in Ohio and other National level tournaments. We have decided that for that reason, the tougher practices, and as much as I hate to say it, tougher national competition to not have him wrestle for his school until High School unless the laws change. I know that some have written letters to legislators, and so forth to get this ruling on a state level changed. I continue to be amazed at how people say it can't be done, especially with elected officials. Even for those appointed by school board members who are elected. I know that for myself this will be one serious issue regarding my vote come election time. By the way I did receive favorable response from Representative Tiahrt and Brownback regarding their willingness to look at the legality of this issue. Both thought that it bordered on illegal and believe that there is some possible federal legislation that could eventually force a change but both were also reluctant to delve into enforcing federal guidelines onto Kansas, which by the way is one of the few states in our area where "Dual Participation" is not allowed. How ludicrous is this? If your child runs cross country, during cross country season they can not run or participate in a weekend fun run in the community.
