They're kooks but they haven't done anything illegal as far as I can tell.

My response was in reference to quite a few of their practices that would place them in violation of statutes governing entities that receive federal funding.
Refusing a female official with whom the school has a signed contract (or, in this case the association that assigns the official) would definitely violate these federal statutes.
My point was simply that the school doesn't receive any federal (or state) money and is therefore able to discriminate in ways any public school (or private school that receives any sort of public funding) cannot.
