Vick's High School Takes Down His Jersey

Warwick High School in Newport News, Virginia, used to have a jersey worn by its most famous alumnus, Michael Vick, in its trophy case. But that jersey is now gone:
Michelle Morgan, a spokeswoman for Newport News Public Schools, said Vick's jersey was taken down last month around the time he pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting charges.

"It remained up through a lot of the allegations and news reports," Morgan said. "It came out after he admitted to some wrongdoings."

Absolutely the right move. A high school, more than many other places, need to be careful about who they hold in high esteem.
