GRETNA, Neb. – Gretna High School high school student Bridget Christensen refuses to take no for an answer.
The junior recently approached school officials with a proposal to start a school-sponsored pro-life student club called “Dragons for Life” through the organization Students for Life of America, but was roundly rejected by school officials because abortion is controversial, the Omaha World-Herald reports.bridgetchristensen
School officials told Christensen that only student clubs that complement curriculum and are approved by the district’s attorney based on an unwritten policy are granted official status and can meet during school hours. Dragons for Life doesn’t qualify, officials said, so members can only meet before or after school.
“We’re a public school,” superintendent Kevin Riley told the news site. “It’s not just anybody’s socioeconomic, religious, political or ideological playground.”
