Abstract:
The original purpose of the federal Equal Access Act was \"to ensure that student-initiated religious groups could use public secondary schools during noninstructional time on the same basis as other student groups.\" The act also protects other student groups who wish to discuss a wide range of topics, including homosexuality. Spiggle discusses the Equal Access Act, how it functions in protecting student- initiated groups, and what school officials must consider in determining whether or not their school is covered by the act.
