"Nowhere did I suggest what is/or should be a standard or precedent. Regardless of one's point of view of this argument, taxpayers finance these fights. In the end, it is a waste - hence my point."

You still missed it. The tax is paid the feds to protect rights. The tax is paid to the school to educate. The school chose to use tax money to violate rights and now the feds have to do their job thay are paid for.

You think there should be no government?

The tax is paid the feds to protect rights

Tax paid by who?  A selective "group?"  This should not even be an issue.  I do not want MY tax dollars usurped to government lawyers to "protect" a special interest.  This is not the realm of education, or government.  You can finance any fight you want, but can't suck local tax dollars, ship it to D.C., then re-distribute it to advance a cause.  Do it on your own dime.
