Rugby decision is grossly unfair

Dear Asst. Superintendent Iniguez,

I am shocked and saddened that you have come to a conclusion that is neither well-reasoned, nor factually-supported. It appears you have performed a subjective evaluation that has rendered a decision that is grossly unfair to a particular group, and reveals a double standard. Why are only the boy's rugby team and ASB club being quashed, yet the girl’s rugby team and club are free to continue unscathed? There is virtually no difference other than gender. Are you exercising partiality because the girl’s team coaches are also teachers at the high school?

Please tell me why other "high risk" sports such as lacrosse, equestrian, and cheerleading are allowed to continue at Fallbrook High School? Are they led by FUHS employees also, or perhaps employee offspring are participants? If so, your decision reeks of nepotism.

Fallbrook Rugby was an extremely positive experience in my son Keegan’s life. He played with the team throughout his time at FUHS, now plays for Northern Arizona University, is the team captain and acting president of NAU's rugby club. Through rugby, he has gained athleticism, life skills such as leadership, responsibility, integrity, and perseverance.

Keegan developed much of his determination and confidence from his years with Fallbrook Rugby.

Why would you, or any other FUHS administrators, deny an upcoming generation the opportunities others have richly benefited from?

Please reverse your decision and allow Fallbrook High School to enjoy continued years of proven championship-level athletics and a team sport whose enrichment extends far beyond the pitch.
