Did you know the school district changed its fee policy shortly after the lawsuit was filed? That is because the same policy in other districts had been found unconstitutional.
Did you know the new policy is supposed to charge all non-academic clubs the same fee equally, but that atleast TWO other religious clubs are NOT charged a fee!
That is why I asked Scar the questions. Apparently she wasn't informed on the case.
If the school wants to adopt a religion-neutral policy, that is fair. If the school grants favors, that is a valid matter for appeal.

I suppose it's too much to ask you back your assertions up with some documentation, citations, or anything like that? |
No problem! See

You have to look for the relevant passages.

This is the change that made the case moot. The only issue on the table seems to be "grandfathering in" of fee waivers for clubs that were free before the school changed its old policy. The lower court ruled that it was okay to let these grandfathered in clubs remain free.
The article names the two religious clubs: Boy Scouts and YMCA. The ACLU in fact sued to ban Boy Scouts from CA schools and lost. Interesting? They are able to meet for free, yet neither is an academic club, and both are religious.
I know Scar meant well by posting this. She had only the info she got from the web. Usually if we look for more, we find two sides.
The Bible says a wise judge hears both sides of a matter before deciding. I need that advice too. Things are not always what they seem.
The real trick is to disagree while remaining agreeable, courteous, and respectful. You did here, Lady. Thanks!
