Salt Lake City, UT – Utah lawmakers are worried about the moral well-being of high school students. This year, they passed a bill that would give school administration broad control over the types of clubs that are formed in schools. The bill is aimed at banning gay-straight alliances, and now sits on the Governor's desk. Opponents are hoping for a veto, arguing that the clubs provide support for teens facing challenging emotional issues. Doug talks to bill sponsor Rep. Aaron Tilton. He's then joined by members of Plan B Theatre Company who are staging "The Alienation Effekt." It's a play that took on the controversy when it first came up in 1996.
