I read the opinion. In part, it concludes:

Quote:
We cannot, under these facts, interfere with the internal affairs of a voluntary membership association. It would be inconsistent to determine that the Shawnee School District, which entered into a voluntary agreement to be bound by Association rules and recognizing the finality of the Association's decisions, could seek judicial relief when the Association has not acted unreasonably or arbitrarily.
Essentially the court made the finding that the "Association" did not act "unreasonably or arbitrarily." What difference would it have made if they had?

The SC should have never heard arguments on this, but simply have vacated the restraining order. By holding hearings and writing an opinion, they are encouraging similar litigation in the future with attorneys simply trying to argue how their set of facts is different from these.
