This refusal was found to contradict the First Amendment, as well as the Equal Access Act.
In Spring 2011, a petition was circulated to allow the formation of the GSA. The ACLU sent a letter to Superintendent Carbajal on March 2, 2011, requesting the formation of the club be allowed.
It was eventually decided that the GSA be allowed to form, and meet on campus.
