"Like it or not, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students who attend the Meridian School District can't form an official club -- for now.
"Officials say it's not that they won't allow a gay and lesbian club to meet, it just shouldn't be school sponsored, and students would have to have parental permission to join.
"...Peter Renn, staff attorney for Lamba Legal group out of Los Angeles, told 12KTRV that the district's policies raised some major questions for his group who focus on LGBT legal cases.
"'We're very much concerned about this new strategy and want to make sure that school district understands that if they decide to take this road that they're very well could be legal consequences,' Renn said."
