There are obviously some virulent Christianity-haters in positions of influence in Plano, Texas. In an article dated 20th., we read:
"A student organization sued a school district Monday, alleging officials prohibited them from posting information about their Bible study group on the district's Web site. Students Witnessing Absolute Truth claimed in the suit that other officially recognized clubs were allowed to post details on the site, but their "noncurricular" religious group was denied equal access.
The federal lawsuit is the second religious discrimination suit filed against the Plano district by Liberty Legal Institute".

And NEXT DAY we read a response from the school district concerned:
"Yesterday (March 20, 2006), through the press, the Plano Independent School District was made aware, for the first time, of another lawsuit filed against the District and its educators by Liberty Legal Institute. Unfortunately, no one associated with Liberty Legal ever contacted the administration before starting this unnecessary litigation....
With notification of this pending litigation, Superintendent Dr. Doug Otto conducted a review of the existing regulations and immediately implemented a revision....Dr. Otto's revision allows the posting of non-curricular student groups to campus web sites. Previously, CQ Local regulations tried to distinguish between curricular and non-curricular groups. After careful consideration, it has been determined this distinction, for the purposes of web posting, is unnecessary. "Information about this revision of regulation has been communicated to all campus leadership and is effective immediately".

Obviously the haters don't get it all their own way in Texas. Or maybe they are just smart enough not to mess too much with that "Ol' time religion".
