I bet the discussion between the students and the school was very similar to the discussion you and I have had regarding this.
No you can't have a religious school club we dont' want a club, we just want a place to meet No, you cant' have a religious school club. Etc Etc Etc I think that i understand it being a bit of a gray area- when does a group of students from a school, meeting with a teacher supervisor, in a room of the school become a school group as opposed to a group of students meeting in the room. Its not quite clear. I am glad at your school they were able to work out the issues, and make everyone satisfied and feel there was a fair solution. I cant' believe your school didnt' provide PAPER for a school newspaper. I am thankful I lived in a horrible snotty but wealthy area growing up. I think extracirricular activities were the best part of school. You should see the monstrosities i made in art club!!
