As long as the school clubs aren’t talking about racial intolerance towards
any other group, who cares if they form or not. Saying you can have a ‘black

This illustrates why I think essentially social clubs shouldn’t be sanctioned by
high schools - the reason the minority clubs formed is because whites wouldn’t
let them into any of the already established clubs. Perhaps the whole idea is
obsolete, anyway (but I can tell you that I saw college fraternities excluding
non-whites). Having a “white” club is redundant, but technically no more silly
than a black club - if any and all clubs really are open to anyone.
But just banning the whole lot of them would be my preference.
And John, I didn’t see where the article said anything about the NAACP calling
anyone racist.
