Last week, we discussed a story out of Ipswich High School in which six lacrosse players were suspended from their final game after a photo circulated showing them possibly “smoking” cigars following graduation. The players’ parents challenged the suspension, stating that the cigars did not contain tobacco and providing evidence that they were made from chamomile and English breakfast tea. However, new developments have emerged indicating that a receipt submitted to support that claim had its date and time stamp obscured. A reprinted version of the receipt reportedly shows that the tea was purchased approximately 20 minutes after the families had been notified of the alleged violation. Dan revisited this story in light of the new developments.
