Jumping to Conclusions
Here is the story of how we assume things that are not necessarily accurate.
18 year old senior Dustin Zebro decided to prove a point that kids could have fun without alcohol.
He staged a party at his home with hordes of teens, drinking games, and a keg.
The police were called and on their arrival, they found dozens of high-schoolers drinking from red plastic cups.
Pictures of the event were plastered all over facebook and as soon as school administrators got wind of it, they handed down extracurricular suspensions.
The problem really arose for the school because without all of the facts, they jumped to a conclusion that was wrong.
Police made no arrests even after performing 90 breathalyzer tests and found the keg filled with 1919 Classic American Root Beer.
What we think we know is not always accurate.

Good lesson for the author of this blog.
School administrators really need to have the facts before they discipline our children. Much to often they jump to conclusions and the outcomes are often harsh and unfair.
What we think we know is not always accurate.
Amen.
I read in the CJ today, it seems as though President Kennedy was told by McNamara there were about 6,000-8,000 Soviet "technicians" present in Cuba, when in reality there were 43,000 heavily armed troops equipped with nuclear weapons pointed at the U.S.
