Kansas high school sports body adopts anti discrimination policy
The Kansas State High School Activities Association adopts a new policy effective 2008 09 restricting actions that prevent officials from officiating contests due to race sex religion or national origin. The move follows a St Marys Academy incident where a female referee was barred from a boys game, underscoring the need for equal access in competition. The policy applies to member and approved schools and signals a stand against private school exemptions, framing discrimination as unacceptable in promoting healthy competitive play.
