IF YOUR REQUEST IS DENIED, AND YOUR SCHOOL ALLOWS NON-CURRICULUM CLUBS...

If your request is denied, and your school allows non-curriculum clubs, then make sure you present some of the resources we provide to your principal. Show them the legal fact sheet and the letter from Bill Clinton, but try to do it as gracefully and humbly as possible (I know, that sounds impossible, but you can try).

IF THEY STILL REJECT YOUR REQUEST, then we recommend you contact some of the FREE LEGAL COUNSELORS below. We have listed several excellent organizations below that exist for this exact purpose...to defend a Christian's Legal Rights. If you are under 18, make sure that you have a parent or guardian help you to make contact.

In case you didn't read it earlier, all the above Legal Counselors are FREE!!! They exist to serve you.

Most of the above information was from (taken down):

Even if you got shot down and your school allows at least one other non-curriculum club, and you don't feel like fighting your school, you should really consider contacting one of the organizations above anyway. Not only is your school illegally disallowing you your right (according to the Equal Access Act), but they are also disallowing all future classes (kids in other grades) from that right as well. By showing your school that they have to let you start your Bible Club, you are enabling future classes in your school (the kids who attend your school in the future) to also start a Bible Club.

Your impact could carry through your school for decades to come!
