CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) -- The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico is askingClovis Municipal Schools to approve a Gay-Straight Alliance club at Clovis High School before the school year ends May 24.
The Clovis News Journal reports the ACLU says in a letter to Superintendent Terry Myers that students have been waiting about two months for approval of the alliance.
The letter, dated Monday, says unreasonable delay in approving the club would single it out as not being treated equally.
The school board voted April 26 to allow only clubs with ties to school curriculum to meet during the school day. Other clubs can meet at school before or after classes.
Myers says he will be able to act on clubs once the district finishes reviewing its policy on use of facilities.
