    Never, I don't lie. And in case you're wondering, the Topeka Capital-Journal focuses more on K-State coverage than it does KU, because it tends to have more K-State fans among its readership. St. Mary's is in Topeka's coverage area. You connect the dots.

    I am proud of the male referee who walked off the court with her. He set an excellent example of how a real man behaves.
     

  4. The reader's correct.
    That argument is pretty damn simple.

    Who placed those children in that school?
    Do you think the parents that placed the children there didn’t know the school’s policy towards women?

    This is the type of education that the parents want their children to have. In order for anyone else to tell the children otherwise, they do it harshly. Take away the basketball season and then explain to the kids that the rest of society finds misogyny to be abhorrent.

    Of course, the athletic commission could turn around and let them replay the game with male referees. Thus, they can signal that the school is correct in its societal view and that they should get whatever the want. Sorry, but fuck that.

    These are the types of schools that benefit from the incredibly stupid voucher program. These "schools" are an embarrassment.

    Topeka is one fucked up city when it comes to religion.

    Oz, I'm disappointed in you. It's St. Marys. No apostrophe.

    Were apostrophes invented by women?

    Agree that Topeka's not Bluebird country. Most folks there abhor all that comes from the dreaded People's Republic of Lawrence. It's Power Towel country.

    I'm thinking that maybe the kids go to this school precisely because the church takes this kind of stance.

    Even if your readers were somehow interested in reading about that school's events?
