D.C. High School Ordered to Recognize Anti-Gay Group
homosexuality is immoral and oppose any sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage.Officials at Jackson-Reed High School argued that the requirement conflicted with its nondiscrimination policies, which, like D.C.’s human rights law, prohibits disparate treatment or harassment of LGBTQ individuals.The school said it would allow the chapter to remain active if it dissociated from the national FCA or changed its policy regarding the limiting of leaders.A student sought to reactivate the chapter, with school and district officials saying the FCA could remain on campus if it simply elected its leaders, arguing that it was protecting the safety and well-being of students by “promoting an equitable environment free of discrimination.”The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a right-wing conservative legal group, argued that the school district and school officials had discriminated against FCA members by not permitting them to be recognized as an official club, claiming they were being treated differently from other school-recognized groups.
