St. Mary's Academy near Topeka, Kansas had a boys' basketball game. It's a private religious school that competes within the Kansas State High School Activities Association.

Michelle Campbell was scheduled to referee the game. But just before the game was supposed to start, the Academy insisted that she not be allowed to do so. The reason given?

Campbell, as a woman, could not be put in a position of authority over boys because of the academy's beliefs.

Good going fuck nuggets. Seriously. There is, however, a bright side. When she was removed, the other ref refused to work the game and left with her. Another ref was asked to fill in and also refused when he heard the reason for her removal. The game was eventually played though.

Stupid school. And people wonder how sexism and racism are propagated.
