WEST BEND, Wis. (AP) _ The West Bend School Board has changed course and has sanctioned the Gay-Straight Alliance, but only if the club drops its federal lawsuit.The
vote Monday night was 4-3 to recognize the alliance as a school club.
That allows it to hold fundraisers, have a spot in the yearbook and put
up a bulletin board. The meeting drew passionate supporters on both
sides of the issue. Supporter Joy Schroeder told the board the alliance
members ``deserve to have a safe place to go where they are not
only tolerated, but accepted.'' (They are only being accepted if they
don't sue!! GGA)
Two alliance members filed a federal
lawsuit last month after the school board failed to recognize the club.
Their attorney, Waring Fincke tells WTMJ-TV the lawsuit was about
equality and following the law, not about any monetary gain
