Jacob et. al.

No, I do not mean school of thought.  I mean direct involvement of human 
beings connected to Logos school and the local Trinitarians, who are also 
involved in Bonham boxing and lacrosse, who use their connections to Logos 
and a certain local church, to promote the goals, beliefs or practices that 
they want to see promoted in an educational setting.  One of these beliefs 
appears to limit girls access to boxing and lacrosse.  If I am wrong, I 
would be glad to be corrected.

Though you may technically be correct in your declaration that the Bonham 
boxing and lacrosse clubs are not a formal part of Logos school curriculum, 
you are most disingenuous in the rest of your statement that the views of 
Trinitarians have nothing to do with the goals, beliefs or practices of 
Logos school.  Sounds like a lawyer talking.  You know full well that Logos 
school embodies goals, beliefs or practices that do indeed have connections 
to the Trinitarians in Moscow.

You know full well that informally Logos school does have connections to the 
Bonham boxing or Lacrosse club.  And my charge of sexism still stands 
regarding these informal connections to Logos, local Trinitarians, and the 
Bonham boxing and lacrosse clubs.

You might answer the question regarding why girls are not allowed to 
participate in the Bonham boxing or Lacrosse clubs.  If they are allowed to 
participate, I stand corrected.  Otherwise my observation and commentary 
remains the same.

If they want to limit girls access to certain sports, just admit that is 
what they are doing, don't hide behind technicalities.

Ted
