Calif. Kindergartener Kicked Out of Christian School for Having 2 Moms

Kelfuma said:
You're right on that but institutionalized religion (in this case, a Christian school) has rules that are rooted in tradition (a regular school would have rules based on human rights as defined by our society). Rules could be completely wack but makes sense if you look at how such a school is tradition orientated and tradition has been only marriage between men and women.

don't know that anyone is saying the school was without the LEGAL right to exclude the little girl

i believe the more profound question is a school - operated in Christ's name - morally right to exclude a pupil only because her parents are not heterosexual

there is a little five year old girl who can give you the correct answer to that question

i think you missed the part (not that it should need to be said) where it was pointed out that there are religious affiliated schools that do not expel gay students or the kids of gay parents

especially in california, i can imagine the parents did not see this coming

Their school, their rules. Don't like it then get out.

this might be the most heartless comment here. I'm pretty sure there's a 5 year old caught in the middle of this policy of discrimination, which btw was changed over the summer just to screw this girl over

how about the kids of heterosexuals leave instead

That would be pretty stupid since that would mean the majority of students would leave the school.
 
Well, they clearly aren't leaving - what, you support minority oppression of majority for the sake of "political correctness"?

lol the kid has no say in any of this and shouldn't be separated from her friends and have to leave because of others' prejudices. We have laws protecting kids for a reason, but somehow religion is an exception to that principle

let the kids of the prejudiced assholes go to another school

Okay, why don't you sue the school and then let us know how that worked out.

those damned progressive bastards who have the temerity to show empathy for a young child, unable to continue to attend the 'Christian' school with her friends only because her parents are lesbians

The audacity here is in believing empathy should have a part in this.
What is more important here than just some child's or parent's feelings, is the possible exposure the child and it's family brings to the rest of the student body.
Living in sin (especially portraying it as normal behavior) is not a value that should be ignored for the sake of anyone.


justabubba said:
like that displayed by the administration that changed the school policy to deny that child the ability to attend a 'Christian' school
consider yourself heard, loud and clear

THa tis not what was reported.
It was reported that the handbook changed, not exactly what was changed in it and not that it was a new policy.

And if she answers anything but yes she is lying.

Bias much? That is not what was reported.
The report never said the policy had changed, only that the Handbook had changed. It didn't even say what was changed in the handbook.

Laws protecting? D'oh!
She needs protecting from the bad decision of her parent that lead to this. Not the school.

Holy ****! Clearly you do not understand the foundation of those running the school.
 
Oh LAWD, why didn't we let you people have your own country???

So as I understand what you are saying, if people disagree with your point of view, they aren't worth caring about, they are non people?

I wonder if you could explain how that post is not full of prejudice and hate?

*yawn*

How you make a bizarre leap from not expecting others to agree with me, to designating 'non persons' is beyond me.

In your weird little world of slippery slopes, anyone that disagrees with you apparently wants imprisonment camps and a dictatorship.

I don't 'condemn' anyone.

'Christians' that disagree with same-sex marriage can't make claims upon me without my consent, and I don't make claims upon other people, but if you believe all 'Christians' oppose same-sex marriage and/or the pro-choice position, then you better read up as your interpretation of what god wants isn't the only one on the planet.

Never stated it was
True, my interpretation is my own.
I do find that some lump all Christian, Muslims and so on into a grouping.
