I think it is possible to agree with the school AND to feel sorry for her.

Yes, this Christian school has the right and obligation to uphold a moral standard.

But we can also have mercy for people who make mistakes.

The congregation can support her as a charity case, if necessary, without allowing her to violate her contract and continue as a model for impressionable children.

And can we stop saying “make mistakes” when we mean “sin”? There’s a difference.

“But we can also have mercy for people who make mistakes.”

We could and should. In the interview snippet she seemed more bewildered than anything else though, and conveyed a very nonchalant “that’s my morality” attitude about the event. If that is a fair reflection of her attitude, the school may have had little or nothing to work with. Mercy follows repentance as I understand it.

Agree that at least she is following the right course with her child. That is a start.
