The firing of Coach Ron Ream is a travesty and a farce. Never has anyone poured as much dedication and brought as much recognition to the Benjamin School like Coach Ream. He is an icon, a figurehead, and a leader in the Benjamin community. His actions and ideals ought to be emulated by all, and his ability as a football coach is unparalleled. This unjust decision by the Board of Trustees has shaken the Benjamin community. And every student, past, present, and future, have been directly affected by Coach Ream's legacy. As a collective group, we demand that he be reinstated as Athletic Director, until which time he decides that his time at Benjamin is done. The fact of the matter is that whatever happened on the sideline was not Coach Ream's doing, and the actions by another man have to bearing or mark upon the reputation of excellence fostered by Coach Ream. Every player under Coach Ream has seen his morals, sincerity, trust, and positivity and has absorbed it. When other teams are cussing on the field, throwing cheap shots, and running up the score, Coach Ream has been the model of tradition and morality. In the face of this scandal, it appears the Board has quickly forgotten this, and has made a brash decision. Let us remind them of their folly, and demand that Coach Ream be given his post back, and that there is justice for Ron Ream and the Benjamin family.
