Checked calendar...it's not April 1st...
This isn't from the Onion...
(Shakes head)
Theres obviously somebody else behind this. Those ACLU bas*stards want to bring everything under state supervision.
I mean, the girls get the win, and you still want to compel the boys to wrestle? You would hope the local wrestling association would rise up against this. I can't imagine this happening in my State, and I live in one of the most liberal of all of them (Md).
What is this crap? Since when do girls wrestle boys???
Can someone please explain to me why they don't just have a girls wrestling team?
Or would that just make too much damned sense?
Regards,
The boys have more respect for his daughter than the Episcopal priest does.
Mr. Connor's asinine desires notwithstanding, the forfeits are the only sanctions that can be imposed on these two schools. They can't be forced into making a boy wrestle if he declines to do so for whatever reason. But I'm confident an accomodating Judge will be found to order them to do exactly that. Oh sweet backlash, when are you coming?
This is not about sex discrimination it is about religious freedom. Does a private Christian school have to suspend its belief that boy-girl wrestling is inmodest and a possible temptation to sexual sin in order to participate in an event in which they are recognized league members? Especially when that league allows forfeits for " any reason". The fact that these boys forfeit does not forbid the girls from wrestling- it only keeps her from wrestling these boys. How can such a narrow application be considered discrimination? Those people who live their faith should not have to treat their beliefs like some mad uncle which they must keep locked away for the safety of the common good. We have freedom of religion not FROM RELIGION.

Connors, a former Episcopal president and one-time pastoral assistant for social justice at St. James Cathedral in Seattle, believes religion should play a role in public life. "But there's a limit," he said.
So we have a pervert supporter (episcopalian "social justice" type) demanding that Christian boys grope his daughter in public.
Why does this not surprise me?
Meaghan Connors didn't have to endure any forfeits herself this year. ... She told her father she felt degraded, like an "object of lust."
Young girl wants to roll around on a padded floor groping and being groped by the boys and she complains about being an object of lust? Is this what passes for intelligence in liberal land?
"Ladies" don't wrestle.
Translate: "just another pig Neo-Stalinist disguised with a collar.."
"It has been a co-ed sport in large part because too few girls participate to have their own leagues."
Why don't they countersue for the girls failing to sign up to wrestle in their own league? Isn't that equally discriminatory?
Girls acting like boys ping
Co-educational schools are sick enough.
But this is just too much.
what a joke - girls are no match for boys physically, period!
yeesh i used to "wrestle" with girls all the time in school... oh wait... never mind
So far as I'm concerned, the traditional taboo against boys hitting girls is defunct. Any male children I might have will be taught everyone is to be treated the same. Female children will be taught presuming on the old taboo is inviting disaster.
