That said, there are some missing details. Is there nowhere else that she could play? Is the school so small that it has a no-cut policy in basketball? (If it's a competitive situation, the chances of her making a boys team are remote.) What were the prior discussions between the school and the parents? This smells like one of those situations that reached a climax before any (emotionally mature) adults got involved in the discussion, which is not uncommon in youth sports.
The school had a policy. It stuck to it. The father said, “Oh no you don’t.”
Well, oh yes they did.
If you don’t like the policies of an organization, don’t be a part of that organization.
Since this is so important to dear old dad, he should pack up the family and move to a place where the school has a girl’s team.
This school has zero obligation to this family, when it comes to bending the rules.
Girls are really happy to have girl exclusive things, like clubs and events. Some even like going to an all girl school. Fine. It works the other way around too.
Guys have a right to an all guy thing too. Who knew?
Title 9? Private school. Title 9 sucks anyway.
Men are wired to be active. They have a need to compete in sports, and it’s physical as well as mental.
Girls can sit in class all day from an early age. Boys go bat S crazy if they can’t get outside and burn off energy.
Boys are different than girls, no matter what Leftists think.
A religious school certainly has the right to decide what sports if any it will make coed. Period.
I second your entire post.
