"Where did this alleged “right” come from? I don’t see it listed anywhere."

Freedom of Association. I'd start with the Constitution's 1st Amendment. It might be found there.

I'm sorry, I must have missed that. Did anyone deny this girl's right to associate with her girlfriend?

As I understand it, the First Amendment also guarantees freedom of speech and of the press, but does not require me to pay for someone else's platform, microphone, or ink cartridges. I don't see how the First Amendment would require her school to accommodate her and her girlfriend with a non-academic social event.

.Freedom of Association went out with the CRA 1964...see Title II

what about the rights of those who DON”T want to associate?

it’s the same thing

tyranny of the minority

my kids got to a school with 2 non Christian families in the entire 650 child student body

they refuse to call it Christmas so as not offend those two

but what do you think they call the Christmas Day bomber?

you guessed it...Christmas Day bomber....and my 9 year old gives them an earful

You're full of it.

The school can prevent me or anyone else (including students) from assembling or associating on school grounds anytime they want. Happens all the time. Try to get into your local principal's office on a Sunday. You won't be able to even if he or she is there working and has his kids playing in the gym. That is not a 1st amendment violation; it is ordinary selectivity of entrance. Also, try to get you and your drinking buddies into the judge's chambers to "associate".
