I went to East High in SLC, UT.

Remember back in about 1997 when there was the big deal about school clubs, mainly the ones for gay students? One student commited suicide on stage, after hours. It was all over the national news and IIRC they ended up banning all non-acedemic clubs.....including my paintball team/club

Also, that tub of ish Rosanne Bar went there during her youth.

Students stage walk-out against school club ban

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CNN) -- Students at Salt Lake City high schools staged a walkout Friday, protesting the school board's ban of all extracurricular clubs to avoid having a lesbian and gay student club. (43K AIFF sound or 43K WAV sound)

400 students protested at East High School, while 200 walked out at West High and marched a mile to the state Capitol. Another 100 students watched the protest at East High, including a group of boys hoisting a sign reading "SAFE -- Students Against Faggots at East."

The school board voted 4-3 on Tuesday to ban all clubs, rather than permit a gay-straight student alliance at East High.

Also on Friday, the state legislature passed a bill prohibiting teachers from condoning illegal conduct in schools. The bill's opponents called it a swipe at gay clubs.
