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 members only’ club on campus but not a ‘white members only’ group is

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whole idea is obsolete, anyway (but I can tell you that I saw college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.

“A local NAACP leader said Lisa McClelland’s proposed club smacks of racial
division”.
Accusing someone of creating “racial division” is akin to calling them “racists”
IMO. The entire quotation is, in the final analysis, the pot calling the
kettle, er, black.
