(Franklin, TN)—Facing a large crowd of LGBT activists in the audience in their March 14 meeting, the Franklin County,Tennessee School Board seemingly backed down. They had indicated to parents that they would vote to remove the newly formed "gay" club from the county high school. But instead of taking any action, they surprised everyone by briefly discussing some proposed rule changes for all school clubs (designed to put constraints on the "gay" club)—then simply tabled the discussion and adjourned the meeting. (Photo via LifeSiteNews)

Joyful LGBT activists, mostly from out of town, comprised approximately three-quarters of the nearly 250 people in the audience. But the local parents at the meeting were extremely angry, feeling they had been lied to and deceived by their elected officials. Brian Camenker of MassResistance had been invited by parents and was also present.

The parents had strongly appealed to their School Board for action. After much discussion, the March 14 School Board meeting was publicized to be a "showdown" where an official vote to ban the club was to be taken. Because of the widespread interest, the meeting was moved from the normal meeting room to the high school auditorium.

Also, the national pro-family legal group Liberty Counsel has spoken directly with school officials—disputing much of the ACLU's statements and offering to defend the county in court if necessary.

The LGBT movement also didn't let up. In the days preceding the March 14 School Board meeting, LGBT activists told parents across the county that the school was in danger of losing all of its clubs if the Board did anything to stop the "gay" club. This is not necessarily true, says Liberty Counsel. But it has frightened parents whose kids are active in school clubs.

On the day of the School Board meeting, Brian Camenker of MassResistance was in Franklin County. Early that morning he was on...
