School board weeds out "druggie" stadium name

Right-wing political correctness is out of control in one Texas school system.

The drug warriors think there's a druggie hiding under every bed, and we live in an era in which anyone who dares to challenge this notion is labeled a stoner or "dry druggie" themselves. This is evident in the Leander school district - which until now was slated to be the home of Tumbleweed Hill Stadium, a new school athletic field.

But now, Tumbleweed Hill Stadium will not be called Tumbleweed Hill Stadium.

The school board has voted to rename this facility - claiming the "weed" in its name is a marijuana reference.

The school board must be smoking something mighty powerful if they think the stadium name was a pot reference.

With that kind of drug warrior hypersensitivity, school officials better hope this stadium uses AstroTurf instead of...GRASS!
