Description: Gulf Coast High School officials refused to officially recognize a pro-life club because it was deemed too “political” and “controversial.” Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys sent a letter explaining that the refusal to recognize Sharks 4 Life, which would be an independent student group affiliated with the national Students for Life organization, is clearly unconstitutional and violates the federal Equal Access Act.
