This reminded me of the posting about discontinuing the use of female parking attendants because it would put women in a position of authority over men:

Since I'm a resident of Kansas, you know that I had to check that! I was reading the responses to the article, which are hilarious (well most of the responses are)!

Yet another way we are becoming more like the terrorists.

Feb. 18, 2008Just minutes before she was scheduled to referee a boy’s varsity basketball game at St. Mary’s Academy, Michelle Campbell was told she would not be allowed to work the game because she is a woman.
St. Mary’s Academy, near Topeka, Kan., is a controversial religious school that follows older Roman Catholic laws, but many argue that religious beliefs does not give the school the right to discriminate.
“The policy of the school was that they indeed do not permit female officials to officiate the boys athletic contests at their school,” said Gary Musselman, executive director of the Kansas State High School Athletics Association.
Campbell says she is “dumbfounded” over the Feb. 2 incident.
“When I put that shirt on, I don’t see a gender. I’m an official,” she told “Good Morning America” today in a live interview from Kansas with the Rev. Darin Putthoff, the director of basketball for the Topeka Officials Association, who was scheduled to officiate the game with Campbell.
This is not St. Mary’s first gender controversy. In 2004, St. Mary’s refused to play a boys football game with White City because it had a girl playing on the team. St. Mary’s forfeited the game.
…
Putthoff said that he thinks the St. Mary’s administrator who made the decision didn’t “have a full understanding about the policy, so the information he offered us that day was really wrong. … The authority over men was not really the issue; the issue was gender.“

In a perfect world, people would not be this ignorant.
And it’s not just the fundamentalists causing these kinds of problems. It’s the all-too-common notion that faith and religion are worthy of respect innately.
The people in the video are surprised that people could possibly think this way in this day and age? Really? We still say that if this is part of someone’s “faith” that we should “respect” it. And most people in this country still extol the Bible, when the Bible actually does advocate a system of morals and norms that values women less than men. Why should it be a surprise that there are some people who take the text of the Bible at its word, and then feel that their faith demands “respect?”

Another thing that, recently, has happened in my city in Kansas is that they have voted to stop busing for desegregation. ??? I did hate them trying to bus my kids way on the other side of town; and I did get around it. I wanted to be able to get to them fast if anything was going down! I was a nervous wreck when they bused the twins about 10 miles away from home when there was a school around the corner. I sent in my paper work to get the kids to a closer school. The community that I lived in is racially diverse.
