Equal Access Act

Full Answer Section

Sample Solution

        The Equal Access Act, passed in 1984, is a US law ensuring equal access to extracurricular clubs in federally funded public high schools. This means if a school allows any non-curricular student groups (like a chess club), it cannot deny access to other groups based on their message, be it religious, political, or philosophical. This includes groups like Gay-Straight Alliances and religious clubs of various faiths. [Wikipedia: Equal Access Act]
