PRESS RELEASE
Statement concerning Our Lady of Sorrows Academy’s
non-participation in the CAA Baseball League
championship game scheduled for Thursday, May 10, 2012
Our
Lady of Sorrows Academy unfortunately will not be able
to participate in the Charter Athletic Association
High School Baseball League championship game
scheduled for Thursday, May 10, 2012, resulting in a
forfeit. This decision is pursuant to school policy
which rules out participation in co-ed sports.
This
policy is consistent with the traditional approach to
education. As a Catholic school we promote the ideal
of forming and educating boys and girls separately
during the adolescent years, especially in physical
education.
Our
school aims to instill in our boys a profound respect
for women and girls. Teaching our boys to treat ladies
with deference, we choose not to place them in an
athletic competition where proper boundaries can only
be respected with difficulty. |
