WTF?

Kansas HS refuses female official:

Kansas activities officials are investigating a religious school's refusal to let a female referee call a boys' high school basketball game.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association said referees reported that Michelle Campbell was preparing to officiate at St. Mary's Academy near Topeka on Feb. 2 when a school official insisted that Campbell could not call the game.

The reason given, according to the referees: Campbell, as a woman, could not be put in a position of authority over boys because of the academy's beliefs.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

You have to be kidding me.

This school should be utterly embarrassed.

But I do think that it is impressive the other male refs refused to officiate the game also. Well done.
