NY school that denied Bible club while allowing Gay Straight Alliance reverses stance

Christian Post,

Officials at Waterville Jr./Sr. High School in New York have reversed their decision to deny a student's application to start a Bible club because it's "religious" while allowing others to establish clubs like the Gay Straight Alliance amid the threat of a lawsuit.

"At Waterville Central School District, we are committed to fostering an environment that values equity, diversity, and meaningful student engagement. We strive to provide all students with opportunities to learn, grow, and connect through various activities, including student-run clubs," Superintendent Jennifer Spring said in a statement to The Christian Post.

"In January 2024, ... information was shared with a student regarding the ability to officially establish a Bible Study Club and alternative options were proposed to the group. There was renewed interest to start the club in September 2024, and students began meeting weekly in the library, which they have been doing since then," she explained.
