Kansas activities officials are investigating a religious school's refusal to let a female referee call a boys' high school basketball game.
The Kansas State High School Activities Association said referees reported that Michelle Campbell was preparing to officiate at St. Mary's Academy near Topeka on Feb. 2 when a school official insisted that Campbell could not call the game.
The reason given, according to the referees: Campbell, as a woman, could not be put in a position of authority over boys because of the academy's beliefs.
Earth to Michelle Campbell! Why would you think that God would give you the right to call a 3-second violation on a 10th grader? As woman you'd be easily corrupted with that kind of power over "men."
In a related story, I remember one time in Little League where i hit deep ball in the left-centerfield gap. Since i was so awesomely fast i thought i'd stretch my triple into a inside-the-park home run right? Duh. Anyway, the home plate umpire was a chick and she called me out at the plate, even though i slid in a good second before the tag. Where were you on that one Jesus? Thanks for nothing.

Ha! Yeah, I would be a major leaguer right now if Jesus had just helped me out in that state tournament... oh wait. I'm a girl. That is clearly a violation of something...
