Under the 1984 Equal Access Act, any public secondary school that allows at least one non-curriculum related student club on campus is prohibited from discriminating against any other club because of its religious or political content. This law was upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 1990 in the Board of Education of Westside Community Schools v. Mergens case. Despite the fact that there are tens of thousands of student Bible clubs on public school campuses around the country and law is clear, many schools still continue to discriminate against student-led Bible clubs. The lawsuit requests that the school abide by the Federal Equal Access Act and requires a Court Order allowing the Bible Club and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club to meet on campus like the other non-curriculum related student clubs. The Equal Access law has been in existence since 1984 and its message is crystal clear.
Equal access means equal treatment.
If school administrators can't understand the simple message of equal access, you wonder how they can teach children anything. Just the opposite, when a school prohibits a club solely because of its religious content, the school violates the First Amendment provision that it pretends to uphold.
