Personally, I think this is a misdirected effort. Essentially, you're punishing a kid who's already in a bad spot, being raised by a couple of fags. The child hasn't committed the sin. Open the doors to Salvation and open your hearts to this child.
In a secular school, he'll likely never hear the truth about the abomination that is homosexuality and might grow up to condone it.
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
That is so much modernist quasi-Catholic BS out of the head of the school. That gay partnership is public and scandalous. A divorced and re-married person without an annulment would fall into the same category, but not the divorced chaste parent. The practicing contraceptor is not a public act or scandal, therefore different.
When the classmates want to go to the gay parent's house to play or spend the night that puts Catholic heterosexual parents in a real quandry. No one with half a brain wants that kind of modeling for their child and to explain why they won't let them go presents a problem for both children.
It is unloving for the school to do this, both to the homosexuals, the straight parents and all the kids. The truth done in love will set them free.
Give the kid a good Catholic education and keep his "parents" out of the school. PT conferences can be done off church grounds and away from young children.
And be sure that you put it all in wiritng because these two are gonna enlist the ACLU sooner or later.
This is a tough call. The child hasn't done anything wrong, and may benefit from hearing the Catholic Church's viewpoint on homosexuality, which he/she certainly won't get at home or in a public school. But, will allowing him in then serve as an entrance for the parents to scream to the state or ACLU about homophobia or intolerance as soon as a teacher brings it up? Also, I can see the other parents' view that allowing the child in is seen as a tacit approval of the lifestyle; but I can't understand why two homosexuals would choose to send "their" child to a Catholic school (or any denomination other than Anglican/Episcopalian). As usual, a child will be caught in the middle of adults' problems.
I wonder just how Catholic this school is if it appealed to a homosexual couple. If the school were teaching sound doctrine, as few Catholic schools actually do, then I have a hard time seeing why it would appeal to a homo couple. Why would they send their "child" there only to be told daddy and daddy are living in sin? I would bet anything the school teaches watered down Catholicism, like the "catholic" schools I went to.
Not sure I agree with the concerned parents here, though I can appreciate their opinion. Where do you draw the line? The article touches on it, but what about kids with pro-abortion parents, or kids born out of wedlock, or with parents who believe that priests should be married or that women should be priests? What about a kid with one orthodox Catholic parent, and an atheist or heterodox Catholic for the other? Do you punish the kid for the sins of the parent(s)?
If the school makes it clear that it will teach that homosexuality is a sin, I would not have a problem with it.
