Very true, but it wasn't a matter of protecting the school. It was a matter of getting the school to agree to let us form a club, and if the club's official purpose was for people with a similar interest to be able to gather and discuss their interest, that made the school happy.
The school is still not responsible if those people happen to want to go riding together, just as they are not responsible if a group of students decide to go surfing at the beach and surf. But you're right that a good lawyer can twist things around. But we weren't worried about that end of it.
