Grant School Christian Club Its Rights
* Allowing a Christian club to have official recognition at Sunny Hills High School in no way violates the First Amendment. School officials and civil libertarians state that "non-sponsorship is key to maintaining the Constitutional ban against government establishment of religion."In no way is the government even coming close to establishing a state religion by allowing sponsorship for a Christian club. This is ridiculous.And what about the second part of the...
