OK, I checked, and there *was* an explicit legal threat made by the fundie group. >From the San Diego Union-Tribune: ...Others said they felt TM was too close to a religion and therefore should not be promoted as a student activity, leading a conservative legal organization to consider suing the school for violating the separation of church and state.... 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. http://tinyurl.com/yarwxq This was in one of the articles posted here, so let's all stop pretending the involvement of a fundie Christian group is a vile rumor started by TM's supporters, shall we?
