However, the operation of the adult education program would require a degree of involvement by the VCCDD or charter school that might make it hard to sustain the argument that it is a genuine club.

Remember, also, that the plaintiffs have not given up on screwing over the clubs. Plaintiffs are appealing the summary judgment dismissal of their claims against the clubs.

Personally, I would like to see the developer have the charter school keep the LLC open, continue to fight the lawsuit, and enlist the help of business groups like the Chamber of Commerce as well as citizens groups like the POA and VHA to mount an effort to amend the ADA to prevent his kind of lawsuit in the future--and maybe amend the laws throughout the US so that, as in other countries, the loser in a lawsuit pays the winner's attorney fees. That last change would stop a whole bunch of frivolous lawsuits. Little chance of any of this happening.
I have been trying to get more people interested in this by copying and pasting the link to this thread on Facebook. I use Facebook heavily in my 224 613 Project. I would never sell social media short even if there are many dangers to Free Speech with no real limitations on it. Not TOTV that much but Facebook where there are many many people spreading false information.
