[1] Henley Prep High School should remove its logo from the city basketball stadium. [2] When Henley Prep High School donated $100,ooo toward the construction of the public venue, the city agreed that the school’s basketball games could be held there. [3] What the city did not agree to, however, was the placement of the school’s logo on the basketball court’s floor. [4] Construction has come to a halt because of this dispute.

[5] The logo should not be on the floor because the new stadium is a public stadium that will host many different teams and events. [6] Other groups in the city report that the logo makes them feel left out.

[7] The city is grateful for the donation and is willing to acknowledge it with a plaque at the gym’s entrance. [8] The school should accept that and move on.
