Title: School freaks out over boys baseball storage shed

You’d best get out your hip waders, folks – we’re about to wade through a steaming pile of government balderdash.

The controversy surrounds a storage shed built by the baseball booster club at Arbor View High School in Las Vegas. The youngsters needed a place to store their bats and balls and bases.

The boosters had wanted to build a clubhouse for the teenage ball players, but after months of delay they came up with an alternative plan.

One of the parents knew the owner of a company that made precast one-story buildings. The company offered to donate the manpower and materials to build the boys a shed.

Carl Pastrone, whose son is a pitcher and outfielder for the Arbor View Aggies, told me they pitched their plan to school administrators and were promptly given a green light. That was in 2014.

The storage shed was erected last September. Boosters installed doors and gave the shed a coat of paint – nothing elaborate.

It cost a grand total of $21,000 to remove a shed that was given to the baseball team at no cost. The school district took every single penny of the booster club’s money.

“It cost the booster club zero,” Carl told me.

And that was that – until a few months ago.

That’s when officials with the Clark County School District showed up at the school and demanded that the storage shed be torn down. They said it violated Title IX.

Title IX states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

In other words, for every boy sport there must be a girls alternative.

And in the case of Arbor View High School – if the boys have a storage shed – the girls must have a storage shed.

“It requires that we have equal facilities for boys programs and girls programs,” district spokesman Joe Murphy told 8NewsNow.com.  

It doesn’t seem to matter one iota that the girls softball team never asked for a storage shed.

“The girls aren’t complaining,” Carl told me. “It’s totally coming from the school district.”

You’ve probably turned to your significant other and wondered aloud, “Those administrators are morons. There’s no reasonable way a storage shed could violate Title IX.”

But we’re not dealing with reasonable people here, folks. We’re dealing with public school administrators.

“We have a compliance problem and that’s not something we can allow,” Murphy told the television station.

Oh, but it gets even worse for the booster club. The school district is making the parents pay to remove the shed.

“The funds have already been taken out of the baseball fund -- $10,000,” Carl told me. “The remaining funds were taken out of the high school fund.”

It cost a grand total of $21,000 to remove a shed that was given to the baseball team at no cost. The school district took every single penny of the booster club’s money.

“It’s a mess created by adults,” Carl lamented.

Indeed it is, sir. Indeed it is.

I do wonder, though, how far the government is willing to take this Title IX equality nonsense. I mean, boy athletes do have parts that girl athletes don’t have.

How does the Department of Education propose to remedy that?

Yea, and girl athletes have needs the same need as boy athletes do to house their equipment.

All they needed to do was to build the girls softball team a storage shed also.

Why would they not want to do that?

Title IX only deals with government money. If government money is involved, girls and boys must be equal recipients.

But no government money was involved. These were private donations. The girls are free to do the same.

Second, according to another article I read, the girls were allowed to share the shed if they put their equipment on the top shelf.

Yep. A $21,000 one.

Under Title IX, "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

Since the activity (boys baseball) was not receiving federal funds to build a storage shed, I don't see how Title IX applies.

Had the school used federal dollars to build a storage shed for the boys, I could understand the conflict.

The school gets Title IX money for something, and money is fungible. That's the logic.

However, it makes no sense that the use of the locker could not be split between the two teams.

(Let them flip for who gets the top. We share, but girls get the bottom. doesn't fly. We share and flip a coin each season - that flies.)

"The school gets Title IX money for something, and money is fungible."

But that fungible money wasn't used to build the storage shed.

This demonstrates what's wrong with our laws. A law written to prevent the government from discriminating ends up being applied to individuals and private businesses.

Government and school districts are stupid. There I said it. The school admin at the HS are stupid as well. All they had to do was move some female sports equipment into the shed from the softball team and it becomes a 'dual use' facility. Really idiots all around. For every moronic bureaucractic edict there is a clever bureaucractic work around or loop hole. Fight fire with fire with these bureaucractic robots.

$21,000 to remove? Really? I could have showed up with a platoon of friends all with diesel pick up trucks, chains and garage power tools and have that shed down and the foundation removed in 2 hours at no cost other than buying them all lunch.

Or...Just move the girlie equipment in there too. This is not hard.

I am sure the football team has a shed. Or even a warehouse and separate practice field. I'm sure there's no girls football team.

The school, state and school district are a bunch or morons. Open the doors and put some pink bats and gloves in there for the softball team. Problem solved.

Ah thanks, I did not know that. The plot thickens. They softball team probably wanted a larger share of the shed and ratted the school out to the .gov folks. Now the picture is coming into focus.

I guess they wanted the bottom shelf. And when they did not get that reported the school. Who knows, but this event is stuck on stupid.

There are girls on high school football teams, but they are mostly kickers.

I agree with your solutions.

FWIK in Texas, they don't have to try out girls for the football team if there is a comparable HS athletic program. How some address is to have a girls dance team/drill team, which is a bid deal down here.

Baseball, Basketball, soccer are too easy. There are female equivalents clearly. Baseball has Softball and the others mentioned have exact female equivalents. Not football. So at least here, the dance/drill program suffices.

Sounds good to me. I like the way Texas handles many things.

I was stationed in Texas a number of times, San Antonio and Fort Worth....Wichita Falls for basic.

Texas was second on my consideration for retirement, right behind Arizona.
