The first answer is most likely acting legally. A school allowing autistic students to compete as long as they don't need to be treated differently than the other athletes is promoting inclusivity and equal opportunities for all students.
The second answer is also most likely acting legally. The school having separate girls' softball and boys' baseball teams is not necessarily discriminatory, as it is providing options for both genders to participate in sports.
The third answer may not be acting legally. If the school is providing significantly more funding for boys' teams and prioritizing their games over the girls', it could be considered gender discrimination and a violation of Title IX, a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education.
The fourth answer is not acting legally. Denying a student with a wheelchair the opportunity to play on the basis of fairness to teammates is considered disability discrimination, which is against the law. Schools are required to make reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities to allow their full participation in activities.
