Welcome to the "pussification" of America.

I was contracted to set-up the Las Vegas School Fencing League.

The Las Vegas School District, the 4th largest school district in the country got right into it. Fencing has more unfilled scholarships by dollar every year then any other sport in the US.

We started things up, where in 17 schools, and then the new district Lawyer got wind of it. Bam....shut down...too dangerous...

I mean...all we where doing was teaching inner city black kids how to use sharp objects.
