The Clovis Unified School Board voted 5-2 to approve the club, with members Richard Lake and Susan Walker dissenting.

Supporters say the club promotes tolerance and equality among students of varying sexual orientation; people against the club say it promotes homosexuality and has no place in the schools.

Then shouldn't someone start a White Pride World Wide club? After all, White students should have a place where they are taught about the great achievements of their ancestors. Seriously, back when I was in high school, we would have welcomed a club at school for homosexuals. That way, we would know who the homosexuals were, to make it easier to whip the hell out of them!

It would be perfect to have all 300 parents yank their children out of this school of sodomy. That would be so cool!

It is a hate crime to harass anyone for their religious beliefs. Pushing gay rights is against Christian beliefs (and others). The 300 parents still have time to stand up to the 30 out of town bullies. If not now, when? Can you see these parents across America saying NO to these bullies...let thousands of American Moms go to jail over this issue...PLEASE!

Not approving the club could lead to unwinnable lawsuits against the district, Behrens said.

They should have the courage to fight it anyway! Just because things look unwinnable doesn't mean you should give in to evil. With God, all things are possible!

The problem here is with the people of Fresno. Fresno was populated years ago by mostly southern and border-state Democrats, coming from WV, OK, AR, and TX. These Democrats expect the national government to provide them with cradle-to-grave services. So they have voted for nearly every liberal who has appeared on their ballot. Did they, for instance, support Edmund Brown, Sr., and Edmund Brown, Jr., in the gubernatorial campaigns of 1958, 1962, 1966, 1974, and 1978? (Is this part of the Condit House district?) In voting so routinely for liberals, they have also chosen heavily Democrat school boards even if the board members were elected on nonpartisan ballots. These Democrat school boards are the best-kept secret in American politics. Even in some of the most conservative places in the country, Democrat liberals running on "improving education" platforms routinely win low-turnout school board elections. Conservatives just don't recruit their own to run for school board seats and don't organize against the liberal elites running these boards. These elites also tend to hire mostly Democrat teachers and administrators too. They don't ask them outright if they are Democrat, but they have subtle ways of phrasing the interview questions to select a Democrat they prefer. So the fault is in the people -- who either actively chose liberal school boards or passively allow them to be elected. I am not optimistic about the people of America, or in Fresno for that matter.

told I'm going to hell just because I tolerate other people's sexuality

The only thing that sends people to hell is rejection of Jesus Christ as their saviour. But your attitude regarding sin speaks volumes about where you stand in relation to the Lord.

So, FresnoDA, wouldn't you agree that untying those 'legal entanglements' might be the direction to take...as opposed to bashing the Board for following these questionable laws? Silly me....I thought you might be a real 'D.A.'

Oh man TLB, you would make our day out here in Fresno. The Clovis School's are the biggest business in the City of Clovis. I have a good friend who taught school there, and he said, they think of the Students as employees, and of course covet the federal dollars each kid produces for them. A good old fashioned EMAIL Freep would be a God Send!! Bless you....FresnoDA

Of course now I'm going to be flamed, told I'm going to hell just because I tolerate other people's sexuality and told about all the evils of public school.

Since FDA was so nice to you let me do the honors:

Couldn't have said it better myself!

"The more that you get to know people ..., the more comfortable you'll be around them,"

De-sensitization of aversion towards abnormal behavior.

Read the last page of Revelations. Bad news for you.
