Here's a good one, boosters pay for seating. Moronic government removes it. Any Rand at it's best.

    You should run for public office, I never even thought of that. I'd vote for you. We could do it like the Chinese, just dig a hole in the ground.

    It would not be "fair" and "equal" and would be "morally denegrating" to the "financially anti-enabled" who lacked the "ability" and "needed" more... We have given them your truffles, because they were far more deserving of our charity... Oh Lookie, pine needles to go with your sawdust; my, aren't WE the lucky ones!

    Yes, during WWII when all the men were off to war the girls played more commonly.

    All the more reason to make all the restrooms identical. It will make it less confusing to anyone that might be a little mixed up about their preferences.

    You didn't hear? They just tell the kids to claim to be "trans-gender" or "gender confused" and they can use whichever facility they want.

    pretty much. When kids are younger you will see more girls playing baseball (little league) but in high school most go play softball, and boys all play baseball (not sure if guys ever even could play softball as a highschool sport)
    Some girls play baseball, but not common, similar to the way some girls play football but not often.

    OH. OK. I did not know.

    So: Girls do not play baseball and boys do not play softball?

    Jan, now better informed

    The socialist answer - to maintain equality with the downtrodden masses, who cannot have imperialist boirgoise tasty, sweet desserts, you can have a bowl of fresh depleted dirt topped with sawdust. Bet you can't wait!!!

    (know its wrong, but can't help it...)
    Clearly the separating the fields by sex is no longer required, since at least 50% girls playing softball are not into the boys playing baseball.

    The girls seats don't particularly look ADA compliant either... Why can't the girl's parents do like the boys parents and raise money to build their own bleachers as well? Or would that somehow not be in line with good socialist public school policy?

    Nice catch, I was thinking of exactly the same thing. Now put your limb restriction dvices, the 46 pound weight, and the earphones back on before the Handicapper General catches wind...

    If there was better seating for the boy's field than for the girl's field, I can definitely see why that would be an issue.

    Though in my opinion, the correct solution to this problem would have been to build a second set of seats on the girl's field, rather than to tear down the seats that the boys had. They say the school didn't have money to build more seats, but apparently the seats for the boy's side weren't built with school money, either. They said the seats were built using money from donors. Why couldn't they get more donors to build seats for the girls? Or, better yet, why not simply have boys and girls use the same field? Why are their sports fields segregated by sex, anyway?

    The complaint that the seats weren't handicapped accessible is a fair point, but building a ramp couldn't be that difficult, could it?

    Equality is great, but only if we're trying to make everyone equal to the top. Making everyone equal to the bottom is nonsense.
