An Inclusive Litany

1/7/03

A pair of Monarch High School students are suing the Louisville, Colorado, school district because their school refused to allow them to start a club that would "teach students biblical principles that will help them in life." When told that school policy limited clubs to subjects related to the curriculum, they objected that some existing clubs did not relate to the curriculum, either. But Superintendent George Garcia explained that the Multicultural Club related to a class on diversity, and the Gay/Straight Alliance is "a product of our health education."
