Schools are an obvious and vulnerable target for evangelical Christians to spout their nonsense in a way that is proved effective on young minds.
Thr Supreme Court ruled on the basis that this 'Good News Club' should enjoy the same privileges as secular organisations like the Boy Scouts.
This may sound reasonable but it leaves the door open for religious indoctrination of all kinds. How long before smiling Salafist Imams are also taking advantage of this same privilege under the same ruling? None of which should be allowed in schools.
Secular activities only should be the rule.
