Holy smoke! The turd burglar attorneys run into a judge with a functioning brain! End of story.
I must say that Texas is looking like a nice place to live.

We actually win one. Hey, if Texas ends up being the only sane place left, I'll move there too.

It always amazes me that a group of individuals, who's sole reason for having an "alliance" is based on their sexual preference, has up until now been given so much clout. I wonder if they have student groups that meet on campus who prefer animals or threesomes or whatever. When is the idiot Judicial system and School boards going to realize that all this is based on sexual preference.

Judge Cummings is one of the good guys; it was his decision in the Emerson case that led, ultimately, to the 5th Circuit Court decision that asserted that the 2nd Amendment did indeed refer to an individual right to keep and bear.

End of story. DREAM ON! Remember: If at first you don't succeed (at further trashing the culture), just find yourself another judge.

This decision will be appealed & this ruling will be overturned.
It's not only a First Amendment violaton to not allow after-school clubs to meet on school grounds(when other clubs are permitted), it's also contrary to the federal Equal Access Act.
Ironically, the EEA was drafted & passed to allow after-school religious clubs & the gay clubs are naturally using it to their advantage.
This decision would be just as wrong if the disallowed club were a Christian group or a junior version of the NRA.

The full text of the judge's opinion is at
http://www.txnd.uscourts.gov/pdf/Notablecases/503cv165_33.pdf.
What separated this case from other Equal Access Act cases, the judge said, was that the group had its own website, which was printed on the group's posters. The website had links to gay news sites, which in turn had links to explicit sex education materials. The judge said that allowing the group to meet on school property would violate the school's policy of abstinence only education, because materials on the linked sites were not limited to abstinence.
Children at the school might see the posters, go to the group's website, click on the links for the gay news sites and then click on links that would lead them to view obscene materials.

It used to be that years ago, someone could always find some wacko lawyer to hire to litigate about any crazy thing, but you could always count on judges to have good sense. Nowadays, those same wacko lawyers have become the judges, and libs can always find one to rule the way they want. We boomers are reaping what we have sowed.
