Bad news for the S&M Club, the Bondage Club, the Bestiality Club and the Student Affiliation of Necrophiliacs.

Except the school district will be sued under the Equal Access Act, it'll lose, it'll owe large amounts in legal fees to the litigants, and the school will still have a gay/straight alliance. It looks like a lose/lose proposition.

I understand schools in San Francisco also rejected this club because of the "straight" part.

Not if we start demanding jury trials for this stuff as opposed to judges making these types of decisions.

federal courts have supported the right of students to form clubs such as the Gay-Straight AllianceNo bias there.

"According to its national Web site, the Gay-Straight Alliance serves to help members create a school environment in which all students and staff
feel safe, regardless of their sexual orientation."
Not actually BE safe, mind you, FEEL safe.

Too bad for the students.....they will wind up being hurt in the end....well, at least the ones who get trapped in the bathroom with one of these, "club members".

Not if we start demanding jury trials for this stuff as opposed to judges making these types of decisions So you're saying you want someone to make a decision contrary to clearly established federal law? If so, that would be judicial activism & we need less of that, not more.

You beat me to it but you are exactly correct. If the schools are to give their approval to hosting groups based upon sexual preferences and behaviors, how can they ban the S&M Club or the Future Prostitutes of America?

I want people in the community directly affected by these decisions to have the say in any lawsuit.

The Crepitating Booger-eating Bedwetters Club expressed their dismay as well, after school superintendant Chalmers stated, "You can pick your nose and we
encourage our students to pick their friends. But we draw the line at students picking their friends' noses. It's just too gross."
OK, that's stoopid. But I went to the troube of typing it.

The plaintiff gets to demand the jury or bench trial.

Moot point...the plaintiff in a civil case demands jury or bench not the defendant (ie school board).

This precedent doesn't bode well for the Math Club/Cheer Leader Squad Alliance.
