High school students in Wisconsin are suing in federal court under the First Amendment and the Equal Access Act after school authorities voted to deny recognition to the gay-straight alliance as an official school club. The alliance has been in existence for more than 10 years.
The students’ complaint read, “Those requests [for club status] were denied by administrators citing a variety of reasons, including WBSD [West Bend High School Gay Straight Alliance] not wanting to endorse homosexual activities and the club’s alleged lack of connection to the curriculum taught at the schools.” -db
