You might recall the story from Kansas earlier this year about Michelle Campbell, the retired police officer turned female basketball referee who was not allowed to work a boys game at a Wichita-area private school because school officials didn't want a woman to have authority over boys, even though the school has female teachers who instruct boys.

The Kansas City Star reports that the state body that runs high school athletics in Kansas added language to its application for membership that prohibits schools from taking “any action to prevent an athletic official from officiating a contest because of the official’s race, sex, religion or national origin.” That change goes into effect with the coming academic year.

Schools that fail to accept that language will not be full members of the Kansas State High School Activities Association, and, as such, would not be eligible to play all the other members of the association.

The newspaper reports that officials of the school in question, St. Mary's Academy, declined comment and have yet to explain their February decision not to allow Campbell to work.
