    8. Jefferson High School decides to add a girls’ softball team in order to demonstrate progress
    towards equality. Yet, because there is already a football field, a baseball field on high school
    property, there is not room to add a softball field. So JHS makes arrangements with the city for the
    softball team to play on a municipal field that is used by local amateur leagues. The field is two
    miles away from school. There is no locker room for the girls to use, and the field does not have
    light or a concession stand. Maintenance such as mowing and lining of the field does not occur on
    a regular basis. In comparison, all of the facilities at Jefferson High School have locker rooms
    available and are well maintained. The football stadium has a concession stand and the baseball
    field has lights. If you were a member of the JHS softball team, would you think this is fair? What
    would you do about it?
