The Klu Klux Klan has a set of beliefs that their members adhere to also.

Who's running the place? Father Torquemada?
And, in America, the KKK has the right to be an organization and hold to those beliefs just as this school does (minus gov't funding) no matter what you think about those beliefs.

If the roles were reversed, say they didn't allow men to be in positions of authority over women and banned men officials, well, let it be what it is. I guess I wouldn't get any assignments there.

I don't have a problem working with women officials or seeing them work at any school but I'm not in charge of this school and believe the greater good is served to allow them to decide (as a private school) what they allow and what they don't. Apparently you don't, which is your right.

And it appears that the KKK and the Society of St. Pius X share the exact same value system. Or do you think that refusing to let a woman officiate is really any different than if they refused to let an African-American officiate?

What would they do if a Muslim showed up to officiate? Get out a cross and 3 nails?

Sad, Rizzo, sad.

What is sad and why are you condescending? Did I defend the KKK? Did I defend this school? I'm just saying, under our laws, they have this right! Do I have to show complete righteous indignation to get a gold star from you or something?

Rizzo, I've told you my view of you. I'll stick with what I've posted so far. No need to add anything further.
