Religious Clubs Thrive In South Florida Schools

Today's Miami Herald says that religious clubs are thriving in public schools in South Florida. The Christian group, First Priority, has 80 chapters in Broward and Palm Beach counties, supported by local churches. Jewish and Muslim, as well as Christian groups are on Miami-Dade middle and high school campuses. The federal Equal Access Act requires that such groups be treated in the same way as non-religious extracurricular organizations in public secondary schools.
