I believe this school board is run by idiots. Why not just ban the PRIDE club, on the grounds that the nature of the club and the issues discussed were not appropriate?

There is a clear difference between clubs like Students Against Drunk Driving, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, KEY club, etc. The difference is that all these other clubs aren't based on the subject of human sexuality and "tolerance" of one particular form of it.

If the ACLU continues to pursue this issue, wouldn't it open the door for the Joy of Self-Loving Club, designed to teach students tolerance on such issues as masturbation, and to help rid the school of such derogatory slang terms associated with the practice?

Where does this stuff stop? Is there a point at which we in society can say, "Enough tolerance already!"

Seems to me that the concept of tolerance is similar to the concept of infinity...think of the most bizarre lifestyle choice that our society tolerates, add one more degree of depravity, and demand "tolerance."
