After receiving complaints from teachers, the principal of Marshall High School in Portland, Oregon, emptied out the display case<\/a> used by the Chess Club to advertise its presence to the high school population. District officials said they felt the display gave the impression that the school was endorsing chess.<\/p>\n

No, wait, of course, I got it wrong. It was the Hispanic <\/i>Club’s display that was taken down. District officials were concerned that ethnic tensions might be increased by advertising a club that fostered pride and solidarity for a particular ethnicity. After all, with the many ethnicities in the Multnomah school district, the district can’t be seen as supporting one over another.<\/p>\n

No, hold on, I made a mistake again. It was the Gay & Lesbian Alliance<\/i>‘s display that was taken down, after district officials feared that students and parents might think it meant that the school was supporting a homosexual lifestyle. They noted that GALA members had been given places to exercise their free speech, but that display cases were not one of these places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh, wait, got it wrong again. It was the school Bible <\/i>Club. Well, that makes it all better, then. I just wonder why the district is getting sued <\/a>over it?<\/p>\n
