The Supreme Court has already held that if a school opens its facilities for student groups, then religious student groups can use them, too. Schools can't discriminate based on viewpoint (i.e. allow one group to meet to discuss issues with students but not allow a group to do so because it's coming from a religious viewpoint.) Which just makes sense--if students voluntarily attend a religious meeting, that's not the school's doing, just like students can voluntarily attend a 4-H or French Club or whatever meeting.

When has that ever stopped the ACLU that thinks laws are made to be 'written in the courts', and not the Legislature?

So it's completely legit to start a "Satanic Students Association"?
