So, if the YMCA want to talk about a soccer league, they have to allow the UUers to talk their religions?
...in Virginia???
Yes, because a christian group sued claiming that if the school allows those other groups to send things home with the kids, they can't discriminate against a religious group. THe 4th US circuit court of appeals agreed with the group, and now if the school allows ANY outside group to send things home, they have to allow ALL outside groups to do so.
So either we are going to hurt all the other organizations that have used this method of communication, or we are going to have to allow Wiccans and Universalists and even Muslims to send stuff home with the kids.
Which frankly I don't see as a big deal, they aren't really TEACHING it in the school, they are just sending announcements home, the parents can do with them what they want.
The groups could do the same thing by mail if they wanted, and it isn't costing the schools anything to allow this, so unless people are really afraid about their kids even knowing about the EXISTANCE of stuff, I'm not sure what the problem is.
But in any case, if you are going to allow everybody to use a service, you really do have to allow EVERYBODY to do so.
