Three years ago I got elected to the local school board
At the 5th or 6th meeting we were to vote yes or no on paid and unpaid clubs

I had no idea what paid and unpaid was, so I asked questions and researched

Turns out, paid is a club that has a teacher monitor that gets some small stipend for being present when the club meets ... once a month, before school for about a half an hour ..... one of those clubs (4 or 5 out of 24) was GSA club

Again ... no idea what GSA was so I looked it up

My school is a little podunk HS/MS combo that graduates a hundred and fifty or so, very redneck and straight and this club had been snuck in in 2012

I raised a serious holler at the next board meeting, someone called for executive session and I got a threatening dressing down ... the ACLU will sue us and it will cost us money and YOU could be brought up on charges .. etc., etc.

Scared me for a few months but I activated our community and got another born again Christian on the board

We vote again for those clubs this month and I think I have enough "no" votes to at least stop paying a teacher and better get the GSA eliminated somehow

THIS post is MUCH appreciated, MassMike
