Do It For "The Children"

I'm all for keeping the kids safe, but isn't this going a bit too far.

The Campbell County High School football field could be a safer place to play and march next season thanks to some old tires and a new surface.

The field is being refurbished using a product called crumb rubber, made from recycled waste tires, providing more cushion than traditional dirt fields.

"The process serves kind of a two-fold purpose," said Cathy Guess of the Kentucky Division of Waste Management. "It is a beneficial reuse of waste tires, and we have found there are fewer injuries to students after this is incorporated."

Now, even the dirt and grass are a danger to "the children."
