There is president that exist from the Supreme Court of the United States to overturn the egregious dual system of competition that was forced upon it's members.
Rotary Int'l v. Rotary Club of Duarte, 481 U.S. 537 (1987)
summary, Women were not allowed to hold office in Rotary. The international organization Rotary International disbanded RC of Duarte, because they allowed by US and State law women both into the organization and then to hold office. The ruling states that once they were allowed as full members, there were entitled to full rights of any other full member regardless of gender. Thus, since Private Schools are full members of the LHSAA they are entitled to play for the same state championships as the public schools.
From the complaint:
Rotary International is a nonprofit corporation composed of local Rotary Clubs. Its purposes are to provide humanitarian service, to encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and to help build world peace and good will. Individuals are admitted to local club membership according to a "classification system" based on business, professional, and institutional activity in the community. Although women are permitted to attend meetings, give speeches, receive awards, and form auxiliary organizations, the Rotary constitution excludes women from membership. Because it had admitted women to active membership, the Duarte, California, Rotary Club's membership in the international organization was terminated. That club and two of its women members filed a suit alleging that the termination violated California's Unruh Act (Act), which entitles all persons, regardless of sex, to full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, and services in all business establishments in the State. The state trial court entered judgment for Rotary International, concluding that neither it nor the Duarte Club is a "business establishment" within the meaning of the Act. However, the State Court of Appeal reversed on this point, and rejected the contention that Rotary's policy of excluding women is protected by the First Amendment. Accordingly, the court ordered the Duarte Club's reinstatement, and enjoined the enforcement of the gender requirements against it.
Substitute "Women" with "Private Schools" or just the word "Members" and the meaning and intent are complete. You cannot exclude all "equal members" of an organization who are in good standing in all other areas from participation in the "Class championship" as the LHSAA has done. Is anyone listening. I am laying out the case for you here, all you need is standing.
