    That's not at all what I'm saying.  Exams of kids trying out for a 
varsity football team are necessarily of _boys_, and hernia-related items are 
a part of the exam in a way that they wouldn't be for a general student 
physical.
    I just question whether public schools have any right to do physicals 
that include genital exams on kids of _either_ sex without informed consent 
from both parent and kid.
