well quite frankly Nick, its very strange that the only criteria your school has for having an outside club meet is that they have to find their own staff member to supervise. I STILL cant' get my head around it. It seems arbitrary and full of pitfalls. So, obviously if am a Hitler Youth member and my cousin is a teacher, I can have the Hitler meet at the school. But if the Senior Square Dancers don't know a teacher they cant'? Its arbitrary and unfair, no? I cant' believe this is the criteria a school uses for choosing what groups can use the school building and what groups can't.
Lots of kids at my school hung around the grounds after school - lots of kids at the high school my mom used to work at hung out after school. Certainly, they didn't stay in groups in classrooms. However, if the criteria above is true for all OUTSIDE groups, and this is considered an OUTSIDE group, I dont' care. I think while I attempted to understand the sense of this rule I argued that the reason the groups wasn't allowed was because they wanted a club - but I never said that if it was an outside group it shouldn't be allowed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick McClure" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 12:16 AM Subject: Re: Church and State > I was the first to post one this.
