There is alot of confusion over this, but its really no different that the after school clubs issue. If the school allows the Bible club, it has to allow the gay club. They can't have one and not the other, but they can choose to have no clubs at all.
Same thing with sensitive current events topics. Public schools are within their rights to ban viewpoint expressions on particular subjects as long as they ban *all* viewpoint on the subject. If they allow Pro they have to allow Con, but they can choose to allow neither in the interests of maintaining a non-combative learning environment.
Or at least thats how it used to work in my school district...
