I think this is a carry over from the parts of the bible that state that women are not to be leaders of the church, they are to be helpers. Hence, the church looks down on things such a woman being a minister of a congregation, some forbidding it, or even a referee making decisions for a church sanctioned event.
Don't jump on me, it IS in the Bible about them not to be leaders of a church.

Snap, you are mostly correct.
Here is the passage from 1 Timothy, chapter 2 (NIV):
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
Personally, I think the school is ignoring the context (which goes beyond this passage in regards to women teaching) of the verse and mis-applying its meaning.

I know my church has a female pastor of our church in Greensburg. I do agree that it's been misrepresented throughout history though.
I was glad to see that the other officials refused to work the game as well. There's no way I'd have stayed and done it without her.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

The school should have stated their policy prior to the start of basketball season. Whomever is the athletic governing body is should respect the school's religious beliefs.
As most lessons in life go, it usually takes a circumstance like this before something is done to set policy."If you're going to do it, you're going to do it right," athletic director Jim Schaus said. "If we're going to put 'Wichita State' across our chest, then every team is going to matter."

Regardless, it is their right.

It is their right, but I still hope KSHSAA removes them from the list. It won't harm the school much at all but it's what should be done.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

of course im assuming there catholic
This is an embarrassing and sad policy and I expect is a case of a lone administrator run amok.
They should be banned from KSHAA activities for discriminatory policies. If I were a parent of a student-athlete there, I would initiate an active protest against this outrageous situation.

Still doesn't change that fact that there are certain requirements that the KSHSAA has that need to be met in order to let a school play against other KSHSAA member schools. And this was a violation of one of those, so they should, and my guess is, will be dropped from the list of approved schools.
