How come students can have extra-curricular on- campus activities like a Stamp Club, History Club, TM Sessions, Witchcraft Club, etc.,etc., .... but a Bible Club brings the ACLU out of the woodwork? Talking about Jesus, Buddha, Ubizmo, or Odin on your own time on school grounds should be allowed. Whatever happened to the "free market place of ideas"?
