SAGE and KKK

There is currently a lawsuit between SAGE (Straights And Gays for Equality) and the School District. SAGE claims that their rights were violated when they were not allowed to use bulletin boards, and other school communication devices to announce their activities.

The School District has lost the case several times and continues to appeal it.

In the latest article on the Kare 11 site, the School District actually makes reference to the this lawsuit being important to stop groups like the KKK thereby comparing SAGE to the KKK:

Are they similar in that they are both radical groups -- one trying to increase rights and one trying to decrease rights? On the surface, the comparison appears completely ridiculous as does spending taxpayer money to continue to fight it.
