“You’re probably aware that Timberlake Christian School is a religious, Bible believing institution providing education in a distinctly Christian environment,” read Doris from a part of the letter.

The letter goes on to say that students have been confused about whether Sunnie is a boy or girl and specifies that administrators can refuse enrollment for condoning sexual immorality, practicing a homosexual lifestyle or alternative gender identity.

The letter goes on to reference specific Bible verses that affirm these beliefs.

The letter reads in part, “We believe that unless Sunnie as well as her family clearly understand that God has made her female and her dress and behavior need to follow suit with her God-ordained identity, that TCS is not the best place for her future education.”

It seems wrong. But,,, I must admit, she does look like a boy. My Mom was a “tomboy” all her life!

An administrator from Timberlake Christian, said the problem with Sunnie goes "far beyond her hair length" and that the little girl is a good student, but that "things disturbed the classroom environment."

Clearly, there is more to what happened than what was written in the article or discussed by the girl's family. The school is just protecting itself by not getting into any details in public.

Which is more likely, that a Christian school expelled a little girl just for having a short haircut or that the news coverage is completely slanted to make the Christian school look bad?

I was a tom boy as well.... With five challenging children (we really were brats in retrospect), my mom couldn’t keep up with all my activities and long hair....hence I got short hair.

I had to wear a dress to school because that is what the dress code was in those days but the minute I got home I was in jeans or shorts and a t shirt. It didn’t make me a homosexual or immoral or anything else. It made it easier to to take care of five active children

No. You should have stopped at the period.

Now, the school may do whatever it wants in this case and I wouldn't have it any other way, but's still wrong.
