a North Carolina high school has blocked the creation of an atheist club
saying it just wouldn't fit in secular students dot Oregon pay FiOS are writing
about
his go high school in Canton North Carolina
and saying that the high school is refusing to allow an atheist clubs have
formed a ride
after the first meeting with the assistant principal Connie weeks the
student was told
that week's needed to look at into the formation of the group
at subsequent meetings the student was told by weeks
that they should just join a different club because the secular club didn't
quote
feed in to the community at his got high school
there were no faculty sponsor is available either
however the Equal Access Act states that if a sponsor can't be found
the administration is required to assign
a sponsor for the group the group wouldn't it
in thats why they're forming it because this students aren't feeding in
elsewhere
in such a religious area how can you be so incompetent
yeah I there really is the whole idea of forming this type of group
I wonder precise court would say the same thing if there were
a a gay group or I am now
a *** group you knows what whatever you want to call it and
the idea that you have to ban something because it doesn't pay date is exactly
the problem
that's why you're creating the group to create a place to those people to go
so here's what happened the secular Student Alliance wrote a letter
saying that the wanna figure out what's going on in
want to talk to the principal about this the principal ignored it
then the freedom from all Religion Foundation along with the ACLU of North
Carolina have gotten involved
and their own a detailed letter saying that preventing the formation of this
group
not only violates the law but it is also just bad policy
and that non-religious and non-christian students within the high school
should have equal opportunities for participation in to make the school a
better place
there's really no excuse for the administration denying an atheist group
from forming
when it appears very clear that they have no problem with for example
fellowship Christian athletes being a group
at the school ultimately I hope the right decision is made here the legal
decision
well it seems like I they're going to be certain groups that are that are on the
ball here and we'll make sure that
the the right we got thing does happen
the a and then bought continue tracking and let you know
how it turns up
