Virginia Legislators Teach Students A Lesson: Bigotry

Ronald Bailey | March 6, 2006

The Virginia House of Delegates overwhelmingly passed a bill in February that would have given local school boards the power to ban Gay-Straight Student Alliance clubs in public high schools. However, the bill was blocked by a Virginia Senate Committee last week. Was this because the Senators were striking a blow for sexual tolerance?

No. The Senators pointed out that the school boards can already ban the clubs.
