(AgapePress) - A Christian attorney says, contrary to the claims of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a North Carolina school board's policy banning sex-based student clubs is clearly constitutional and within the boundaries of the law.
The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education enacted the ban in response to the formation of a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) club at South Rowan High School. The new policy is based on the school district's existing abstinence-only sex education policy.
David Gibbs III, the lawyer who represented Terri Schiavo's parents in their very public fight for the disabled woman's life, has been advising the Rowan-Salisbury School Board and defending their decision to enact the ban on sex-based school clubs.

Further, the language of Qatar proposed early in the Committee plenary, which supported the right of the disabled to receive full and adequate care, including food and hydration [an obvious response to the Terri Schiavo events which transpired in the United States last year] was all but completely reworded during the negotiations due to EU disapproval, and as such lost most of its meaning.

The book is in two parts -- the first follows Terri's case from when Gibbs's law firm took it for the last two years or so. It is most compelling for his eyewitness accounts of how alive and "in there" Terri really was, despite all the lies about her. Brain damaged, of course, but not PVS. (He does not address how she was injured, except to say he heard every imaginable theory.) Gibbs saw her beauty and conveys it to the reader.
The second half is about meanings, much of it at some removes from Terri's story: about others who have recovered from brain injuries, about Christian witness, about possible legal reforms. Good, but less pertinent to our discussions. Nice photo section.
