That is fine, that is why the school has a library, that is where you go to study after school.
A teacher can use their room for a group, like the drama club and that doesn't bother you, but if it is a religious club, you just happen to want to study in that room. If there is not enough room for students to study and groups to meet after school, then students studying should take first priority, no question there. But in a room that would probably be locked anyway, what is wrong with a teacher using it to allow a group of students to hold a meeting? As for the reason they were complaining, they were holding meetings in the school for about 5 years not bothering anybody, then they were made to stop. They were later allowed to use the school again after everybody realized there was not interference with other students. Any group can hold a meeting, I don't care what they are. I am not even Christian, I just don't understand what the big deal is. At 10:51 AM 1/29/2002 -0600, you wrote: >But my point is that I may want to go there to study or whatever.
