Jury: Student Can Form Anarchy Club
CHARLESTON, W.Va.- Sissonville High School was wrong to ban an anarchy club but was right to suspend the student who proposed it in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, a jury decided Friday.
The jury awarded student Katie Sierra $1 in damages. She was suspended for three days in October because she had fliers at her desk promoting her proposed club after administrators rejected it.
Principal Forrest Mann also ordered Sierra not to wear T-shirts with handwritten messages that included, "When I saw the dead and dying Afghani children on TV, I felt a newly recovered sense of national security. God Bless America."
The jury agreed with the school board's argument that such messages disrupted other students' education.
Kanawha County school board lawyer Gary Pullin said the school became more polarized after the attacks and Sierra was a target of anger because of the club.
Sierra, 15, said she was happy with the verdict. "I'm going back to Sissonville High School in the fall and start my club," she said.
School superintendent Ron Duerring said there were no winners or losers in the case.
"We have a responsibility to maintain safe schools, and we see this ruling as another step in the process, clarifying our decision," he said.

Just how organised IS the Anarchy Club, anyway...????OK, who's going to take the minutes? Who's going to be the treasurer? Who's going to write the articles of incorporation? Collect the dues?
Oxymoron?
This would be funny if it wasn't a court decision.

Isn't 'anarchy club' an oxymoron? What will they do? Agree they should each do whatever they want?
To: Conservative Chicagoan
An anarchy club???? We already have the Democratic Party.

Every anarchist I know is a closet revanchist.

Every anarchist I know is a closet revanchist. Breaking room 12 away from the east wing of the highschool?

I would be willing to be a huge chunk of money that this twit cannot say anything without "you know" and "like" being every other word.
To: Paul Atreides
Who would possibly bet against you? I bet she also has listened to a lot of rap and incestantly talks about "the bomb" and "keeping it real".
To: Conservative Chicagoan
And makes Alannis Morissette look like a Baywatch bimbo.
To: Conservative Chicagoan
Join the Anarchy Club! You have nothing to lose but your ideology....
