When some students from the Lubbock Independent School District in Texas asked to start a gay-straight alliance, Superintendent Jack Clemmons said no. But it wasn't prejudice against gays that prompted his decision, he claimed. "I would have denied other clubs whose basis was sex," he said, "I would have denied a Bestiality Club.

I would have denied a Gigolo Club. I would have denied a Prostitute Club. Likewise, I would deny any club that has as its basis an illegal act, such as the Marijuana Club, Kids for Cocaine, the Drinking Club, etc." Even as he was making that decision, Clemmons allegedly was conducting an affair with a school employee, on school property, on school time.
