Who would've thought bringing an accused rapist to a school could ever be a bad thing?

Maybe that's what led to Stan Dobbs bringing former San Francisco 49ers defensive end Ray McDonald to talk to a group of at-risk high school students. Seriously, what could go wrong?

Dating back to 2014, McDonald has been arrested on charges including domestic violence charges, rape by intoxication and child endangerment.
For starters, Dobbs being placed on administrative leave for his decision to bring McDonald to Tennyson High School is just one of the things that he could have foreseen.
McDonald's infamous past should have been enough to keep anyone from thinking he'd be a good choice for a motivational speaker. Just don't tell that to the school board.
"I never feel like we should have apologized because, like I told Stan, we didn't bring him [McDonald] in as a role model," school board president Lisa Brunner said. "We brought him in as a motivational speaker to convey, 'Don't do what I did. I screwed up my life,' so I was mad about that because none of it was done with the board."
You can slightly understand why they'd use him as an example for how sour your life can go. Still, bringing his physical body into a school, convicted or not, is just a poor, poor move.
