    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?

      (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.

    You wonder what started this. My imagination has some loud mouthed parent bragging to a group of people about the size of his son's stadium and how it 'proved' that softball was second-rate. We have all known people like that, and we have all known people who will use their power to strike back without thought to collateral damage.

    Just musing. Empress "Star's" example decision (at the end of Glory Road) of, "Take THAT man out and shoot him. Your problem will go away." does come to mind.

    I particularly enjoyed the school officials statement..."our goal here is to comply with Federal law..." WHAT THE HELL....I thought the goal was to educate the kiddies???? Not perform the appropriate worshipful absolutions to our Federal Masters.

    Wouldn't this court order be a precedent for a claim that the "government of the people by the people" can not be treated better than the people? Therefore, I want the same same pay, benefits, illegal bank deposits, illegal and highly advantageous real estate deals, prostitutes and ObamaCare subsidies as the jerks in congress and the administration. Oh, wait, the proletariat can't have that! Maybe the patricians shouldn't have it either? I know, I know, the NSA is keeping track of the heretics.

    a hundred years or so ago, my HS soccer team was 22-0. The football team was 1-12. Who got the better field (stadium actually), equipment, uniforms, etc? Who cares? We got to play! We actually had two girls on the team, because there weren't enough girl players for a girls team. They were just great. They got to play. Who would want to take away the football stadium so we all had to play in mud? Socialists, is who. Driving us to the lowest common denominator.
