GRETNA, Neb. (AP) — A Gretna High School student is questioning the school’s unwillingness to sponsor her club dedicated to fighting abortion and educating mothers on other options.

The Thomas More Society wrote a letter to district administrators Monday, saying the school’s decision is discrimination and violates the First Amendment and the Equal Access Act.

The society describes itself as a national nonprofit law firm “dedicated to restoring respect in law for life, family and religious liberty.” It’s representing high school junior Bridget Christensen, who is a co-president of Dragons for Life, a chapter of the Students for Life of America.

School administrators say the club was denied sponsorship because its topic is a controversial one that’s political and religious.

The club currently is permitted to meet at the school, but not during school hours.
