__________________________________________________ _____________ I wonder what the school in question does/has done/will do if a female official is assigned to an away game? I certainly hope the female official was paid for showing up to her assigned game.

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. |

Any public high school in my state (and in most others I'm sure) are free to hire or not hire any independent contractor they choose. We are not employees, therefore laws concerning employees do not apply to us.

I doubt federal funding if received would play into this. Last edited by fullor30; Wed Feb 13, 2008 at 04:09pm. |

That said, if it was proven that they wouldn't hire or in this case break a contract due to gender is asking for a heap of trouble. |

I am not a lawyer either, but I do believe that you can fire a contractor for any reason. It doesn't matter why.

Anyway, I really don't think the school handled things well, and I am tremendously impressed with Ms. Campbell's response to the whole thing. |

It's no different than picking up a phone book, calling a plumber, and then refusing to let her do the work because she's a woman. They are pefectly within their rights to use or not use anyone they choose.
