Pendleton Heights High School in Indiana had a lawsuit filed against it by students and the ACLU in September with the claim that the school had imposed an unequal burden on the gay-straight alliance by not recognizing it as an official school club. U.S. District Judge James Sweeney ordered the school to now allow the GSA to advertise, raise funds, and be listed in the school’s handbook — like an "official" club would be allowed to do — while the lawsuit continues. While the case has not been heard yet, this injunction is being seen as a win by many. In court documents, the students said other clubs that are not strictly related to the school's curriculum are still allowed to be officially listed. These include SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), E-gaming, Robotics, Best Buddies (students working with special needs students), Mat Maids (supporters of the wrestling team), and the school's Outdoor Adventure Club. Those clubs, according to the suit, are allowed to advertise and fundraise on school grounds.
