On February 20, 1996, the Salt Lake City School Board voted to ban all
clubs in order to keep a Gay/Lesbian/Straight Alliance from forming at
East High School.  Despite numerous phone calls and countless letters, the
board seems to remain recalcitrant.

Salt Lake City will host the 2002 Winter Olympics with the slogan "The
World is Welcome Here." The Salt Lake City School Board's decision calls
into question how much of the "World" is truly "Welcome" here. The
Citizens' Alliance for Hate Free Schhols, a project of the Utah Human
Rights Coalition, calls on all supporters of the rights of young people to
have equal access to educational opportunities and safe schools to sign
the following petition.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AND THEN FORWARD TO SOMEONE ELSE.

IF YOU ARE A TENTH PERSON TO SIGN YOUR NAME, FORWARD THE
LIST BACK TO ME: cdorchard at earthlink.net
 (i.e. the 10th, 20th, 30th person will forward this message to me in
progress)  I will compile the petition and send it to the board members.

Target Deadline:  June 4, 1996

PETITION TO THE SALT LAKE CITY SCHOOL BOARD

"We, the undersigned, support the efforts by area high school students
to organize non-curricular clubs and alliances designed to increase
understanding and good will among the high school population and the
general public as well. We call on the Salt Lake City School Board to
resist all illegal attempts at intimidation and coercion to deprive
students of their legally guaranteed rights. We request that they take
immediate action to reverse their decision on February 20, 1996, to ban
all clubs."
