It can cover pop culture, politics, really anything, as long as it is something you think might be IMPORTANT. I'm needing you to find things that have happened in the past 7 days. Once you find an article, you will need to read it, and then paraphrase it in a blog post. You will also need to leave me a link so I can check the article out.

ReplyDelete"A drug citation against a former University of Louisville basketball player has been dropped. Behanan was cited for possession of marijuana on April 2. Louisville Metro police said Behanan was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by officers near the intersection of 17th Street and Broadway. The officers said they smelled marijuana and asked Behanan if he had any drugs on him. He said yes and handed police a single blunt, or marijuana cigarette. Police searched the car and did not find anything else. In December Behanan was dismissed from the UofL basketball team for a violation of university policy, but the policy Behanan violated was not released by university officials." It sounds like he is not a very good kid and that maybe he needs to be kicked off the basketball team for good if he is just going to keep causing trouble and being bad.
