Each of the basketball hoops outside Brown Deer (Wis.) Middle School is sporting an anti-theft device, known as the Club, that prevents basketballs from going through the hoop. School officials say they put the devices, which are normally used on car steering wheels to prevent auto theft, on all of the basketball rims to ensure public safety. Some African-American residents in the village think, however, that the device is robbing youths of their right to use the courts. They think the action is racially motivated, and they're letting the Brown Deer school district know.
