District court upholds exclusion of religious groups

[Ken Campbell]

How does this case stand up against the Equal Access Act of 1984?  This Act
compels official recognition of a Bible Club by a school district if 1) the
school receives federal funds, 2) the school is a public secondary school, and
3) the school allows any noncurricular clubs to meet on campus.  In Garnett v.
Renton School Dist. No. 403, 987 F.2d 641 (9th Cir. 1993), a Fed Ct App ruled
that the Equal Access Act must be complied with even in the face of a state
constitutional provision to the contrary.  Wouldn't this certainly apply to a
local school policy?
