Reporters have been banned from Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School grounds after observing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford – the Don Bosco Eagles football team’s coach – and some of his aides during games and practices, the Toronto Star reports. The school’s principal and vice-principal, accompanied by a police officer, informed journalists standing by a gate to the school yard that they weren’t allowed on the property.
