My personal thoughts
I think that Good News Club's right to sue Milford Central school because the meeting were to occur after school hours, so, religion wouldn't interfere with the learning process or fear of teaching religion. But, then again, it was Milford Central School's property so Good News Club should have obeyed the rules.
