The term "functioning" is open to debate. The gym session starts at 5pm which is after classes have ended. The school isn't going co-ed. These parents (term used lightly) are objecting to their daughters passing in the proximity of boys as classes end and the gym session begins.
I went to all-boys prep school (which has now gone co-ed) and then a mixed secondary school where classes were segregated. I know the value of it. However my parents encouraged me to interact with all other children outside of school. If these parents object to girls being in the proximity of boys then what kind of social life outside of school will these girls lead? The fact is that these 'parents' want to warp the social interaction into this hideously inbred way.
