[Vision2020] Logos School's all-male board

[Bill London]

First, I wish you would answer my question about how any father could restrict
his daughter in that way...
But, yes,  I think Logos as a private institution has a legal right (as
defined now by the US Supreme Court) to bar females from serving on their
board.  However, I think that is wrong (such discrimination is ethically
vacant) and foolish (diversity of perspectives and experiences is vital for a
well-functioning organization).
