This illustrates why I think essentially social clubs shouldn’t be
sanctioned by high schools snip

I sort of agree with your view. Surely, a purely social club is a waste of
everyone’s time at a high school. But, having clubs that form around a
topic, like say “Germanic mythology” or “Ethiopian dance,” wouldn’t be a
problem as long as anyone interested in the topic could participate in the
club. The minute the club starts being ethnocentric, or somehow race
divisive, there is probably a problem. Still, I can easily see how such clubs
could be educational and teach things outside of, or perhaps more in depth,
than what is allowed in most high school curriculums.

I think Lugnet ate my expansions on this topic - I got tired of retyping them
and just packed it in on this subject. Essentially, I said the same thing as
you do above: clubs open to all centered around topics or activities was fine by
me: ski club, physics club, history club, dance club. Activity clubs aren’t
really learning-related, I suppose, but the focus remains on the acitivty
itself. But virtually anything with a greek letter in its name? It’s just
condoned snobbery (and we are talking high school here, not college where we are
talking about legal adults).
