''Truth v. Kent School District'' 9th Cir. Wash., Apr. 25, 2008 was a case in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals involving the [[Establishment Clause]].  When two students attempted to form a [[Bible]] club called "Truth" at Kentridge High School, the school denied them permission on the grounds that the club would exclude students because it required that members possess a true desire to grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Many of the thirty clubs at Kentridge were just as exclusive as the proposed Bible club.  For example, the Men's Honor Club and Girl's Honor Club obviously had gender exclusive membership, although gender discrimination is allowed in [[public school]] by 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a)(6) (providing that gender discrimination is allowed with regard to certain social fraternities and sororities and volunteer youth organizations that have traditionally been limited to one sex).   

In ''Truth v. Kent School District'', 2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 8933 (9th Cir. Wash., Apr. 25, 2008), the Court of Appeals for the [[Ninth Circuit]] considered school clubs and the [[Establishment Clause]].  When two students attempted to form a [[Bible]] club called "Truth" at Kentridge High School, the school denied them permission on the grounds that the club would exclude students because it required that members possess a true desire to grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Many of the thirty clubs at Kentridge were just as exclusive as the proposed Bible club.  For example, the Men's Honor Club and Girl's Honor Club obviously had gender exclusive membership, although gender discrimination is allowed in [[public school]] by 20 U.S.C. § 1681(a)(6) (providing that gender discrimination is allowed with regard to certain social fraternities and sororities and volunteer youth organizations that have traditionally been limited to one sex).   

The Court held that, "the District did not violate the Act or Truth's First Amendment rights by applying its non-discrimination policy to require Truth to remove its general membership provision."
