But no "counseling' goes on in the Bible club where a kid says "I feel…." and the response is the Bible, or G-d says you can (can't) because of…. That is counseling,. This club would be a perfect example of both sides of an issue coming together to fight prejudice and bullying. The refusal is simply homophobic best I can tell,.

Barton and one other board position is unopposed in the upcoming school board election and I can't see how the GSA decision will matter one way or another for the other two seats. Every time he answers the question on why he voted no he gives a different answer. They've had enough time to debate this issue. They are wrong and they know it.

The fact that not all of the signatures are from Chambersburg is irrelevant. The fact is that Pennsylvanians are disgusted by the fact that the school board has delayed the inevitable this long. The GSA is necessary for our schools to make any change in attitude and for a more equal system. The school allowing the bullying of anyone, especially concerning sexual-orientation, is a travesty of public service and the school board will be paying for their mistake.
