LAKE LURE, N.C. — The board of directors of a Rutherford County public charter school has reversed its ban on student-led clubs, two weeks after complaints about a newly formed Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender group.
A news release from the American Civil Liberties Union said the board of Lake Lure Classical Academy voted Monday to establish a new policy requiring K-8 students, but not high school students, to get parental consent to join clubs.
School officials didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
