Students Against Destructive Decis.
Multicultural Clubs
It appears to be more a matter of the school board difficulty in accepting the nature of the lesbian straight alliance, rather than there desire to have all clubs be academically based.

Maybe this is the problem. I find any time any religion enters into these roles, the intolerance increases. It's the "My God is Better Than Your God" syndrome. There is way too much involvement in public schools by religions. I also believe that innocence recognizes things as they are, not as we say they are. Kids see through a lot of the things happening in society today. They know bullying and intolerance exist and try to overcome them as best they can, and they deserve our support, not condemnation. I also believe intolerance and bullying are not natural traits, they are TAUGHT, and probably by members of our generation.
