Here is a good opinion on this topic. On a sidenote, many schools do not understand the law and they overreact to any religious activity. There was a case involving a Bible club. On August 11, 1984, the Senate voted 88-to-11, and the House voted 337-to-77, to pass the Equal Access Act into law. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld it by a vote of
8-to-1, in the ‘Westside Community Schools vs. Mergans case in 1990. Section 4071
(20 U.S.C. SS 4071-74) declares;Sec.4071. (a) It shall be unlawful for any public secondary school which receives Federal financial assistance and which has a limited open forum, to deny equal access or a fair opportunity to, or discriminate against, any students who wish to conduct a meeting within that limited open forum on the basis of the religious, philosophical, political, or other content of speech at such meeting.As Justice O'Connor held speaking for the Court in Mergens, "If a State refused to let religious groups use facilities open to others, then it would demonstrate not neutrality but hostility toward religion."I say more power to them!{"Edit" button, not "Back" button, Grasshopper. - AM }This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 05-11-2005 04:30 PM

Rap IS an effective tool of communication, YO.

This kid at my work (Safeway) likes to wear dresses on the weekends when he goes clubbing. He is eccentric but he is far from what I would call "weird>" He is probably going to turn out more "normal" than most of his peers> What does everyone think of the A.C.L.J.?
