Abstract

This brief discusses the Equal Access Act of 1984 and the clarifications set out in the 1990 case of Board of Education of the Westside Community Schools v. Mergens, as to the protections afforded to queer-friendly student clubs and organizations in public schools. The brief also touches on why these queer-friendly clubs and organizations are critical in protecting and empowering queer students.
