My guess is that the threat of a lawsuit by the fundies had more of an impact on killing the TM club than the vocal ex-TMers. http://tinyurl.com/yhxzza Sharing the chagrin of some Terra Linda parents over the TM club was the Pacific Justice Institute, a nonprofit legal group that often advocates for religion to play a greater role in public life. In this case, though, the group threatened to sue the high school over church-state boundaries. "If it's religious in nature and it involves faculty, then you would have a problem," said Kevin Snider, chief counsel for the institute.
